One of my Facebook pals posted a link to a teacher's blog which had an anecdote on it that I found absolutely repellent. It might seem hypocritical to repeat it here, but I do need to give you the gist of it.
Apparently, in a staffroom goodness knows where, the talk turned to childbirth and the fact that some women lose control of their bowels during labour. The punchline was that the local hospital had been throwing the wrong thing away afterwards, leaving the school to deal with the consequences. Now, I have got nothing against anyone saying that their job or circumstances are crap but, when they suggest that the kids themselves are no better than human waste, I get uneasy for a number of reasons.
