And what sort of role model would that be?Mrs C. wrote:Quite true about not being able to get evening/weekend jobs - although most who want work manage to find it at home during the longer than average holidays.
CH , unlike state schools, doesn`t even organise work experience as part of their Year 10/11 programme, which I find quite amazing, given all the other opportunities the school offers.

When I pressed the bell to get Chris' s stuff out from the laundry room - or was it to say I was taking him out - or to hand ver some antibiotics - well - it was sumthing important - I get yelled at in the following Quote
" I hope whoever you are you have a fu*** good reason for ringing that bl*** bell....."
I called up and said "excuse me but this is an adult and a PARENT who you are yelling to"
