T minus 1.5

And they wonder why I don't rate teachers! My nephew got excluded from his school in Scotland on Monday for patting a friend on the head. The school has a total non-contact policy to deter bullying. He's 12! He's bright, always well-behaved (at school!) and sailed through his SATS. Basically they can't be fucked to do their job properly and distinguish between youthful high jinks and proper bullying. After some coaching from yours truly my brother has 'gone off on one' and my nephew has now been reinstated although heaven knows what this will have done to my nephew's confidence. Teachers! I wouldn't pay 'em in fucking washers!
