Sorry, you've lost me. What was 'sickening' about Miss Sweetheart, jeddy?

It's interesting ain't it, because as I write this 'Lark Rise to Candleford' is on the TV. The story this week is about a teacher who left the village school, because of the way the children were acting up. One of the village mothers stepped in to help out. She was ousted, albeit kindly, by another woman from the town, who deemed herself to be 'a teacher'.

Of course, she was total crap at the job and the children gave her a hard time. And so, the mother stepped back in, told the kids stories, educated them in the way she knew they'd understand, brought in the things she knew they'd listen to, want to learn about...

Well, well, well, well, well. :0)


Ralph, you being a former BBC employee, I should imagine you'd want to take this terrible atrocity up with the BBC and producers of Larkrise, because hell's bells, for them to dare to infer that a mere woman of the village...a MOTHER, to boot, would have the brainpower and the children skills to make a better teacher than the 'official' one, needs to be dealt with ASAP.

Sorry, I'm chuckling as I write this. Ha! Lark Rise couldn't have come at a better time, really, could it.

OK, you lot, back to your HATE Registers, where you can fill my words all in and send them to the Headmaster as fast as you can.
