So true . The children I worked with in inner city schools had so much stacked against them that I was always amazed at how well they managed at school where values were so different - like living in two worlds for some of them. Then the school would be judged on academic standards and my kids would seem not to have worked hard at all and I still get soooooo mad!!!!For others, the cards fall differently and it’s not always their fault.
When my daughter was a baby she was losing weight and the clinic nurse told me to stop fussing and wouldn't let me see a health visitor - that night my baby was in hospital. Next time I saw that nurse I was doing some supply teaching and she was the nit nurse - Oh it's you she said - you should have told me you were a teacher - I was livid - when I was int he clinic I was a first time mum purely and simply.
Rant over!
you shoulda said ''You should have told me you were a 'nit'''
