Teachers aren't like they used to be. My son's both think theirs are amazing... Bar a few exceptions.

In my day nearly all the teachers were pure evil.

Agreed paulry, i was always terrified of my teachers, now they are a piece of cake, so much more down to earth, modern and fun.

I could never be a high school teacher though - the kids are far too bold, sleekit and gobby.

I'd be done for murder

Me too. Some of the stories that my eldest tells me about the behaviour of some of the other kids at his school makes my hair stand on end. Is it the same over there?

Oh yes....
My daughter was arguing with her friend at school the other day, and they both got hauled into the office to find out what was going on...

I don't think the aussie kids are as wide as the uk kids but they are certainly giving it their best go

It's good that the staff at your daughter's school are vigilant and proactive.

A month ago at my son's school, two girls were having a quarrel in the playground and one pulled a knife out on the other. Thankfully one of the quick-thinking year 11 boys jumped the knife wielding girl and disarmed her.

WOW - UK schools are so scary aren't they! Seems to be the knife culture in schools is something of a trend!

School kids here are still stuck in an 80's timewarp - which is good when you are talking about that sort of $hit!

British Expats, Unhealthy Obsession?

No, because the TV is shite (except ABC & SBS) and I'm too tight to pay out for Foxtel.
