I think my brief post has been misunderstood, I was not complaining about chalk painting near my house, I was merely expressing my surprise with a poster who commented that the chalk near her was still there after four showers of rain. Instead of jumping down her throat, as someone did to me, I tried to empathise with her annoyance in a more positive way.
I'm actually quite offended that some one thinks I was a bad teacher to criticise children for chalking cheerful messages during these dark times, I was actually a very popular teacher and won an award for my work in Learning Support throughout Greater Manchester schools. I have a colourful rainbow in my window for the few children who walk past to enjoy and would probably join them in a pavement painting - observing social distancing of course!
Maybe I need to be as rude as some other posters, and not try to understand another persons perspective and just criticise them!
