BW I understood you completely.

I read an newspaper article a while ago that said in some schools, students were getting marked down simply because they did not agree with their treachers idealogy - whether it was politics, religion or whatever. Some of the affected students were simply agreeing with the teachers so they didn't get a bad mark. So my biggest worry is this happening to any of my kids, not just Lindsay.

At the school Lindsay attends there is only 1 male teacher. My youngest brother (17yrs difference) has him for this year (yr 6) and just loves it because he has never had a male teacher. I think teachers and students clash more due to personality than anything else. Lindsay's teacher is just lovely and there are more boys in his class than girls.
