Latest barmyness (is that even a word?) from the education frontline.  Letter arrived from son's school telling me that from his report, said son has demonstrated a commendable attitude to his studies.  Jesus H Christ, I fucking know.  I have read the report and signed it confirming that I have.  Aren't we supposed to be saving trees?  Aren't we supposed to be saving money and making cutbacks.  I cannot believe that someone is being employed to type letters about stuff that is blatantly obvious to the majority of parents.
