Plenty of parents recently complained that they received ‘cut and paste’ end-of-year school reports for their children.
But now one teacher has hit back, with a spot-on report for the PARENTS to read.
Focusing on everything from racism to dangerous driving, the end-of-year report (which can be found in full over at The Guardian) addresses the “worrying trends in parental behaviour”.
The anonymous teacher explains: “I am becoming increasingly worried that some of our children are being subjected to racist attitudes at home, which they are bringing into school.
“We spend a lot of time discussing issues such as tolerance in lessons, yet this year I’ve heard children as young as six openly use words like ‘Chinky’, ‘Paki’ and worse, without any sense of wrongdoing.
“If your children carry on using this language in or out of school, they’re going to get into serious trouble. And you are, too. Because we report this stuff, and it isn’t us that teaches it to them.”
The teacher also discussed the importance of reading the letters that pupils take home with them, insisting that it is in their child’s best interest to do so.
And, whilst discussing dress codes, the teacher had a couple of pieces of advice for mums and dads.
“Repeatedly showing up at the school gates with no shirt on (dad), or sporting a furry bunny onesie (mum), will draw looks not only from staff and other parents, but their children as well.
“You might be able to live with the sniggering, but your kid who’s feeling the brunt of it in the playground probably won’t.”
You can read the report in full over at The Guardian now.
