It isn't often that you get the chance to see a situation through another persons eyes, but I feel that i have had a little glimpse of the world of school through Sam's eyes. He started at senior school last September and until yesterday we had only met his class teacher and a couple of senior teachers. Yesterday we went to his parent's evening and met some of his subject teachers and I was astounded that they (mostly) seemed fairly 'normal'. Having become familiar with Sam's nicknames for his teachers I was intrigued to see what the 'human couch' the 'walking wedgie' and 'pure evil' looked like. The teacher described as 'pure evil' did not appear to have horns and a tail, but perhaps he was on his best behaviour and the teacher described as elderly was only about 40! The 'walking wedgy' was exactly as described, in fact he wore his trousers so high that he makes Simon Cowell's trousers look like hipsters!
Perhaps Sam's perception of certain teachers is a little extreme, but his progress at school is really pleasing, he had very good reports from everyone. The episode set me thinking about Robbies colleagues, I wonder how accurate his descriptions are? He claims that compared to him they are almost all totally weird, I know that stretches the imagination a bit, but I have seen a couple of them and if they are representative of the group Robbie may be right!!
