British Education
Posted on Friday, June 13, 2008I received this email tonight:
What a pure and utter waste of resources. Get yourself offline and get a life. You dont offend because your sad. You dont impress because your old. Your foul language and shock tactics are pathetic.
Glad you live there…!
John
(Head master secondary school London)
Dear me. An illiterate headmaster.
“Dont offend”
“You dont”
“Head master”
“Your old”
So this is what teaches British children?
Hmm. This is not encouraging.
Just like you, John, I’m glad I live here!

You know, I’ve just been thinking.
Since these remarks came to me in a personal email and not in a comment on the site, it isn’t covered by my usual commenters privacy policy. There’s nothing to stop me telling you that his email address is jonesjohn@merseymail.com and that his IP address is in Liverpool.
Isn’t that odd? A London-based teacher living in Merseyside.
Stumble it!

Perhaps he meant to email the head of Channel 4? That Big Brother show really is old hat now. Grammar seems to be a problem in England these days. The winner of “The Apprentice” had basic spelling mistakes on his C.V. Perhaps they need training in how to locate the spelling and grammar function in Word? You’re lucky you did not get a text message. It might have read

Hey John, those few words of yours reminded me so much of the late great Henry Root…
Dear Sir,
I wish to complain bitterly about the content of your programme so please do something offensive.
yours sincerely

Would this be John the brave, Headmaster of a London school (but not one known for it’s effective education policy) ? Why do some people think they’ve a God-given right to criticise ? Gone are the days of reasoned argument, more’s the pity…! (exclamation mark used for ironic intent) By the way, where did he get your email address from ? Maybe it’s John Stalker - but he wasn’t a Headmaster…

Dear John
There is no need for you to go to a mind reader to know my response; You should go to a palmist; I know you’ve got a palm.

During the course of my work, I once sent an english dept chair in an american school a concerned note asking her how the climate was in her part of the building referencing the heat humidity air flow that kind of stuff.
She wrote her answer on my same note stating that she was glad I asked as she had hot flashes and it was warm! in the twenty years she worked there no one has asked after her comfort so she would appreciate it being a little cooler. She also corrected my gramatical mistakes in red.I looked past it and cooled her off.Months later at a city function she remarked at how good i was at my job and it was a pity my irish accent was so strong! because otherwise the americans might think I was british and would be thought smarter. I could’nt look past it! there was a poll on how hot i could make it? I backed off when her co worker called and said I was cooking his sperm.

A London teacher based in Liverpool. No surprise so that the Brits have such a terrible grasp of geography, still using those c.1910 maps with all the big pink bits.
…… or else he’s the world’s greatest commuter.

Dammit, I’m always late…
After reading, it came to me that perhaps ‘head master’ and not ‘headmaster’ means he sucks cock particularly well.
