Quinlad, if I found my 7 year old child was ordered to write apology letters to anyone I would want to know why. Even if that meant I found out my child was being a disruptive, rude, ignorant animal.
If I found out that it was because of exactly what Icemaiden is asserting, then I would have a whole list of questions for the teacher and the head teacher in person, to allow them to fully rationalise and explain their approach to the offence and the discipline enforced. I would even ask to speak to the parents of the children offended.
This is not being unreasonable and is certainly not an over-reaction.
My point about contacting the LEA was to clarify � if the school say so � that it is something condoned or approved by their LEA.
If you are misguided enough to believe this is �revolting peasants� then that is up to you. But don�t bemoan others of their right to understand facts, actions and consequences, and to question them and learn from the experience. I understand you are referring to the �knee-jerk PC gone mad Islamophobic this country�s gone up the swanny brigade.� But unusually for you, it makes you look a bit of a numpty.
Also, this website is a Daily Mail website so as much as we would all like to, don�t diss the Mail!
