When teachers are given children who haven't even been given a basic grounding in manners at home, who quite often cannot speak English having been brought up in a household where it is not the parents first language, children who do not know the meaning of the word NO, and children who have spent most of their first few years of live stuck in front of a TV to keep them quiet. WHAT THE F**K is she supposed to do??

However apart fom that I am pissed off with all the mealy mouthed twisting of the English language that goes on, just to avoid calling a spade a spade. People don't get 'let go' they get fired, companies don't 'downsize', they make staff redundand. It's all spin, everybody seems to speak in estate agent [realtor] language. You can't fight a war without somebody getting killed, and that is KILLED, not 'collateral damage'
