To think the school has not dealt with this well?

Oh Soutra! Who wrote JB and CCBB? And what is JA most famous for if not irony?

I imagined he must have worn the mask himself! Did he really put it on her? confused Why would he have done that?

Giosh Anya - you are so right! It's up to my dgd isn't it. And there was my silly dd thinking that maybe the boy shouldn't have been allowed to do it in the first place. Makes you think doesn't it about what the convicted Indian rapost said on the BBC programme the other night about women asking fit it. WIBU to suggest that my dgd be homeschooled so that the boy in her class would have temptation removed from him?

Grannytwice, are you sure you haven't read the book?

Apart from our thinking this is outrageous behaviour my mind is struggling to see the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang /James Bond link and "post-feminist irony " for 11 year-olds linking being tied up with Jane Austen. Could have phrased that better though!
When somebody has a spare half hour, perhaps they could explain it to me?

I'd leave it. Just have a word with GD about shouting STOP and meaning it.

You could be overthinking this GT.

Hello- my dgd (11) came home from World Book Day very upset. The boy she sits next to had tied her up and put a mask on her. She said she asked him to stop but he said it was just a joke and anyway she was enjoying it really. When he finally untied her she told the teacher but the teacher just said to count herself lucky that he hadn't dressed up as a series killer or James Bond because then she might have had something to really tell tales about. The teacher then said that there was also a useful lesson in post- feminist irony to be learnt here and that next week the class would explore the concept of irony through Jane Austens novels. When my dd rang up to complain about the tying up, the teacher explained about how it was all jolly good fun and that WBD had proved its worth yet again as the class were now to be introduced to the work of Jane Austen . The teacher said last year WBD had also been useful as someone dressed up as a character from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and that had led onto the class reading the James Bond novels. AIBU to think that the school has not dealt with this well?
