Is there nothing sacred? It turns out that the essential toolbox of every teacher in the UK, Sparklebox, is banned by Hamsphire County Council - its a kind of one stop place for freebie display materials, flash cards, that kind of thing. It has come to light that it is owned by a convicted paedophile who has served a prison sentence. So we can no longer download and laminate to our heart's content - and I had just before Christmas ordered 1000 laminating pouches.
This morning, H banged her arm in the bathroom and I ignored her yelping and groaning and told her to talk in proer words if she wanted help. When she quitened down and I went in to see her, she started the conversation with this opener: 'It's obvious you have not had any training in how to be a mother.'
Happy Friday, mum.

Not every teacher in the UK - I have never heard of Sparklebox!
I heard about that, and although I don't know the precise details, if the guy is good at helping teachers be better teachers, who cares what his past is. He's served his sentence - sure you don't let him near kids again - but why can't he run a website to help people in his former profession!? It's not like he's asking teachers to upload pictures of their kids in the nud!?
