Another one that has boiled my p*** today.
Middle child (Aged 10 next month) has come home from school with the end of term newsletter.
It tells us, among other things, that he was awarded a "Highly Commended" by the judges at an art exhibition held in Rhyl Library. He was baffled by this news as he was unaware that any of his work had been entered by the school. The exhibition is over. He has no idea which piece of work won him this award, he has received no certificate or anything (tho' is pleased enough that he is "mentioned in dispatches") and we, the doting parents, were given no opportunity to visit the exhibition and view his work in context with that of his peers or, for that matter to even see the work now.
So the question is am I turning into OH or am I right that this another indicator of the fact that the state (this time via the schools) think so little of my input as a parent that they no longer bother to even inform me of what my children are being entered for until it is over and done with?

The Boy gets certificates almost daily for achievements.
I only ever got one at school. Cycling Proficiency. That was more than enough
-
Yes ~ mine are forever coming home with little certificates of various colours. Merit awards (often they know not for what) and for every ten merit awards they get a "Bronze" certificate, "Silver" for twenty and "Gold" for thirty. BUT the gripe was, until the Head's newsletter listing all the various achievements by many children, none of us including Minor knew he had won anything ~ he didn't even know he had been entered for the bloody competition and neither did we. Frankly I find that annoying and faintly disturbing.

I have injured my back and am in some degree of agony (chiropractor later)
Last night The Boy, aware of my condition, asked "Will you die in the night?" ( eeek:)
I said not.
"What will happen if you die?"
"You will be a wealthy man"
"You mean a wealthy boy?"
"No.You will get nothing till you are 25"
"Damn!" eeek:

The 'expert' only got 3 so I was quite pleased...
I think cleansing my palate with beer and red wine before the test was prolly not a great idea... noooo:
-
Well the beer shouldn't be too much of a problem. The Scots would use nothing else, Pint 'o Heavy in one hand and a dram in the other but the red wine may have been a tad over doing it.
