Re: holy family
Gee im agreeing with me dad now:eek: lol quite true n its getting worse with all this PC interferance most schools now are opting to be less competitive within their pupils ie phazing out sports day n competitions like easter etc. They are promoting inclusion which means everyone gets an award n 'no winners' attitude, i tell u hot debate in staffrooms because no wonder some youngsters nowadays have no drive, ambition n expect everything to happen for them without the effort, trouble is its ok to have the PC attitude but REAL LIFE is competition - some succeeeding n some failings n a lot of effort, no wonder youngsters have difficulty when they find they fail or can win em all sort of speek n gee talk about dummies out of the pram!! they cant handle it cos they have been protected from it rather than prepared for it n to me that is as important as academicals in fact necessary life skills.
Im off me soapbox now lol:D

Ok they were hard and demanding but in general they were fair and gave a lot back - thanks to em all
