school dinner = fuming

[johnnytapia]

Sorry DD I didn't mean for it to come across that way, so I'm sorry I made you feel that way.

In the cold light of day, after the dust has settled on the match and accompanying wine, I have to admit my initial response to the OP was way over the top. Reading through your original post I do understand why you’d feel slightly aggrieved, but I also think a more balanced outcome is the one you’ve achieved, namely, dinner lady has been told her conduct wasn’t the best, your daughter’s probably realised it’s a good thing to eat her dinner and I’d be surprised if it got taken any further. I have the utmost respect for dinner ladies - they are paid absolute buttons, they have to deal with kids at the time of day they’re most excitable and they’re also expected to try and get the kids to behave well, eat well and interact well. They’re often in a no-win situation, as I think this case shows/showed.

So, mea culpa for the initial, ill-considered response. And hopefully, this was resolved to everyone’s satisfaction. Incidentally, hats off for taking the time to be a governor. The increased onus on them to know school data, understand two levels progress, age-related expectations RAISE, etc makes it a thankless task.

And yes, I do teach. And I very, very rarely have to shout, admonish or dish out sanctions. Children actually appreciate boundaries. I let them know what they are, they generally work within them. If not, quick word and normally all is well.

You're an infrequent poster so you can be forgiven but please note the following protocol for posting on Blue Moon.

Posting when pissed is recommended if not essential

Backing down or apologising is absolutely off limits

Instead you should over react to anyone who posts a counter view to yours

Add in some personal insults

Continue the cycle of escalation, name calling and aggression until you get banned

Get banned, return and then boast about it.

Get perma banned.

Ha! Ha! Sage advice.

In the whole history of the internet I have never read a thread on any subject on any forum which contained the word "fuming" in the title, and which didn't leave me thinking "What a dick". Not sure why this is, but it's a rule which stands firm.

Excellent riposte.

The only thing your post lacked was calling nimrod a c**t.

Johhnytapia you don't start "And" at the beginning of a sentence or after a full stop you fucking "Tool"

You sound like a thick, shell suited P.E. teacher who fills in for absent pissed up teachers or dinner ladies and thinks he's the cock of the school by going around bullying little kids.

This thread was about the OP feeling an injustice had been done to one of his/her own and was seeking advice. You managed to turn it round and bullshitted about being a teacher or the head of lunchtime supervisors.

You're either the saddest **** out there or you're a brilliant wummer......I suspect the latter.

That nonsense went out of the window many,many years ago.Try reading some books and you`ll find the word regularly used.
We`ve moved on from the 1960`s mate. ;)
