"I had no intention to offend you."
And it was certainly not my intention to offend you.
At present I am attempting to follow the unfolding saga of 'revelations' (being cynically used IMO by the present govenment and the right-wing press) by the schoolteacher exposing violence in the schools she has taught in, which makes 'Blackboard Jungle' (you're probably not old enough to remember that one) look like 'Sound of Music'.
Violence, bullying and discipline must be extremely difficult to deal with - I don't envy those whose responsibilty it is their job.
