1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,680 Speaker 1: Sitsy and with her with Cave Richie podcast. 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 2: This was last Thursday afternoon. I want to paint a 3 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 2: picture for you, like any other household. We were sitting 4 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 2: around it was four o'clock in the afternoon, and fed them, well, 5 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 2: you know what, normally it is a little bit wide. 6 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 2: And Jack was sitting there. His head was down. He 7 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 2: looked flat, and I said, mate, how is your day? 8 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 2: Is everything all right at school? He said it wasn't 9 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 2: good today. Dad. I was there. I was having a 10 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 2: making a sandwich or something. And what at school? No, no, no, 11 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 2: you're not allowed to be there. No, it was four 12 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 2: o'clock in the afternoon. Sorry, same, I was making sandwich, so. 13 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 3: You were in the kitchen. What was onlock? 14 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 2: Sandwich? A sandwich at four o'clock. I found myself hungry, 15 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 2: so he probably slept all day. Salami and sauce, the 16 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 2: Big Bears dinner in two hours. Just have a couple 17 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,279 Speaker 2: of nuts, the Big Bears got. 18 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 4: To and if I don't need it, I'll make it 19 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 4: and take it back to the cave for later. 20 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,319 Speaker 2: When I allowed again, Kate Richie. Someone called the show 21 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 2: and called me porky this morning. Do they call me 22 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 2: porker or porky, porky porky like. 23 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 3: DoD you have you were you just wearing your T 24 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 3: shirt without your beds. 25 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 2: No like going from from whipper to whopper and then 26 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 2: to porky. I just it was a step too far 27 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 2: from me into context. 28 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 5: The sandwiches at four o'clock in the afternoon. 29 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 2: That's why hello fits and porky. Anyway, we move on. 30 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 2: I said to Jack, what's going to go through? 31 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 3: I said, that was in the car. 32 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 2: Really good voice you did. And Jack said, wasn't a 33 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 2: good day? I said, what happened? Mate? I said, someone 34 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 2: threw a tennis ball at me and it hit me 35 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 2: really hard in the back. That would hurt. And I said, right, well, 36 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: did you pick it up and throw it back? 37 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: Oh? 38 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 2: Wait up, you don't have to react. Wife steps in 39 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 2: what I said, did you pick it up and throw 40 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 2: it back? Did you nail the kid that threw the 41 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 2: ball at you? I got a hand a palm to 42 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: the face from my wife, like a stop talking and 43 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: how Tommy does that to U? K? Yeah, I got 44 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 2: to stop talking. 45 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,679 Speaker 3: Well that's enough, Like it's like, whoo up, that's enough. 46 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 3: I've heard enough. 47 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 2: That is the wrong advice, and then it was well, 48 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 2: Dad always said it's okay to hit back if you 49 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 2: get hit. You said that, that's what Jack said to Lisa, 50 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 2: and Lisa, yes, lost it. It's not an eye for 51 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 2: an eye. That's not how the world works. And there 52 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 2: they're taking eyes out. You're like, oh, that's how serious 53 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 2: the school is. And I said no, no, no, because the 54 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 2: problem is I had taught the guard the boys. If 55 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 2: if someone was to hit you, or you think something's 56 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 2: going to happen, there's a movie you can do where 57 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 2: you can push them away without actually hitting them, and 58 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 2: that's probably a better thing to do than to strike 59 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 2: them back. You learn that martial arts amarra can't focused 60 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 2: strength confidence. Is it hammer fist, not a back fist, 61 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 2: not a hammer, not a forward part either. 62 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 5: You can only do it if they came, if they 63 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 5: come at you. Yes, you're distracting. 64 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 3: So it's just one move that is not necessarily aggressive. 65 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 3: It's blocking. 66 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. So someone says to you, hey, did you hit them? No, 67 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 2: I didn't hit them. I just pushed him away because 68 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 2: he was in my space. He was in my space 69 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 2: and I think that's okay to do, and I also 70 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 2: think it's fair to say, if I'm hit with the 71 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 2: tennis ball and someone's throwing it at me, well you 72 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 2: just started it. I'm going to throw the ball back 73 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 2: at it. 74 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 3: That's the opposite to what you just said. 75 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 4: You just said pushing away, and now you've said, strike 76 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 4: up the tins ball and get back at The. 77 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 2: Punch is different because a punch is extremely confronting. If 78 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 2: someone punches you in the face, then that's a real attack. 79 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 2: A tennis ball in the yard, I reckon, is a 80 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 2: B grade compared to a punch and landing a fist 81 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 2: on a chin. 82 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 3: Okay, So what's Lisa's take on it. 83 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 2: She's to the teacher. Okay, you go and speak to 84 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: the teacher. Now, you can go and talk to the teacher. 85 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 2: That's fine. Up until the age of maybe four, I reckon, 86 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 2: that's early learning. School year. Sometimes you got to take 87 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 2: them to the ghetto university, you know what I mean. 88 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 5: Oh, I don't think your kids are going to the 89 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 5: ghetto unit. 90 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 6: Sometimes you've got to build the street into the school yard, 91 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 6: you know what I mean. Sometimes you've got to teach 92 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 6: them it ain't all fair in this world and we 93 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 6: need to step up. 94 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 2: Sometimes the prison yard gets a bit rough. 95 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 4: Well, look, I do think there is merit, and you've 96 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 4: got to guard in back. 97 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 2: Sometime you want to have a crack at me, for 98 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 2: there's if you don't, then it can happen again. Now, 99 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 2: my mom said to me, there was this kid that 100 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 2: I used to rumble with a bit, and he always 101 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 2: used to say, all right, the last one up the 102 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 2: stairs as a girl or something like that, a different gender. 103 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 2: All four, you're still dealing with the news coat and 104 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 2: I and Mom said, next time he does it, grab 105 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: him by the throat and push him up against the wall. 106 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 2: And then let's see if he ever does it again. Oh, 107 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 2: he never did it again. And sometimes that's what I mean. Now, 108 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 2: you can tell me this is the worst parenting in 109 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 2: the world, but I tell you what, it's a rough 110 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 2: world out there. So you're going to need to You're 111 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 2: going to need to use your plums at some stage. 112 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 2: You're going to need to be ballsy, and you're going 113 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 2: to need to have a crack. There will be a 114 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 2: time you do have to stick our face. 115 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 3: But j has to have plums. 116 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 5: No, And Jack is also at school where you probably 117 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 5: eight of his notes in his class. Their dad's are lawyers, 118 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 5: so you could use them as relevant, completely irrelevant. 119 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 3: If you do that again, my daddy's going to get you. 120 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 2: With a legal documentary. Thirteen twenty four ten. What is 121 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 2: the correct thing to do here? Because Lisa said, it's 122 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 2: just not the right way forward. You can go up 123 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 2: to that kid and point in his face and tell 124 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 2: him to back off, and that's enough. That'll be okay. 125 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 2: And I said, yeah, for a while, until the kid 126 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 2: realizes that guy just points and shouts, and then that's 127 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 2: not enough. It's so what are you meant to do? Well, 128 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 2: you just go up to the teacher, said he throw it. 129 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: You just threw it. When the teacher goes, oh, you 130 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 2: got hit with the tennis ball, did you? Oh, I'll 131 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 2: don't speak to him. Hey, you don't throw the ball. 132 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 2: I think they're a bit better than that. And then 133 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 2: the next thing. 134 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 4: Sometimes imagine having a thousand kids every day telling younis 135 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 4: agree to be like, well, in the whole list of 136 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 4: things I got to do today, it's not high up. 137 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 4: That's not high steev or for throwing a tennis pall. 138 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 4: But it can it can backfire. It can backfire if 139 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 4: you tell your kid to do it and then they 140 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 4: can't gauge how much of a you know, retaliation that 141 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 4: is required. Then your kids the one the kid in trouble. 142 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 2: But I think the important part to remember is you 143 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 2: never started. You're the one just reacting. So the problem 144 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 2: is if your kid goes and punches some other kid 145 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 2: and he's the one starting the fight, that's a different 146 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 2: set of rules all together again, because that kid is 147 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 2: then clearly in the wrong. 148 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 3: It's so complex. 149 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 2: A kid who threw the tennis balls in the wrong, 150 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 2: not my boy, never my boy? 151 00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 5: So was that the last time I'm going to throw 152 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 5: that asketball? 153 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 2: Like you in the office? What about Anthony and Kiraway? 154 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 2: What are your thoughts? Buddy? 155 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 7: One hundred percent agree with your fiste because when I 156 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 7: grew up, my dad told me the same thing. It 157 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 7: was to never go looking for a fight, but to 158 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 7: always finish it because I was actually a target for 159 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 7: bullies when I was younger in high school. And I 160 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 7: were talking years ago, because I was actually attacked by 161 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,239 Speaker 7: a dog when I was youngest and my face was scarred. 162 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 7: So I would god things, and you know it's old 163 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 7: to tell the teachers, but teachers wouldn't do anything. So 164 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 7: you know, people keep doing it. So you go over 165 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 7: there and you fix them up yourself, and when you 166 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 7: beat them and they learned not to do it to 167 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 7: you again, because it's like, what, what can you know 168 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 7: teachers or anything through the kids don't get in trouble, 169 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 7: you know, they don't get the tenders or nothing. So 170 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 7: I'd risk it, you know, to say they say I 171 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 7: break the hands off policy. I would risk to get 172 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 7: a detention or anything, because I mean, you can't keep 173 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 7: going on because when you're doing your seat fool kids 174 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 7: that don't fight back and then they stab and you know, 175 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 7: things happen. 176 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 2: Nick in Penrith, Welcome to the show. You took it 177 00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 2: a step further, did you. 178 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: Nicole Ideas? My daughter was verbally abused for months. We 179 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: were dealing with it, and then all of a sudden 180 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: it turned physical. I went to the school and they 181 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: told me they would speak to this child, and I 182 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: told them that's not good enough. So I actually went 183 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: to the police. 184 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 5: Wow, so what did the police do in this situation? 185 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: I actually went around to the other person's house and 186 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: spoke to the parents and this child and then the 187 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: next thing I know, she's actually left the school, which 188 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: was great. 189 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 2: What do you know what, even if it's just a 190 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 2: scare tactic, the police turning up on your front door 191 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 2: would be high impact. It's a high impact move, isn't it? 192 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 5: Or for any kid, for your own kids, that's not 193 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 5: a bad business. I mean, I suppose you can't pose 194 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 5: as a fake police were you? 195 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 3: Absolutely why not? In fact, you'll end up arrested. 196 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 5: But would parents actually pay you to go around way? 197 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 4: Imagine being a police person though, and having to do 198 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 4: all the things you're meant to do in your day, 199 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 4: and then also having to deal with issues for school kids. 200 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 4: You know, I do understand that sometimes you need to. 201 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 2: Be made it. 202 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 5: Kira is in Bringelli. You're a teacher. Where do you 203 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 5: sit on this issue? Kira? 204 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 8: Well, guys, I'm a teacher and a parent, so I'm 205 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 8: completely on the fence with this dilemma. You have this 206 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,359 Speaker 8: whole old school thought of my kid needs to defend themselves. 207 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 8: But on the other side, you're like, as a teacher, 208 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 8: if you're not going to help this child talk to 209 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 8: this other child who's bullying him or hurting him, the 210 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 8: one who got hurt is going to end up being 211 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 8: the one who gets in trouble Because you never know 212 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 8: that first child who threw the ball is going to 213 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 8: end up dubbing. If you get the balls, he's back. 214 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 2: With a cur When someone comes to you and they've 215 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 2: let's say they've been picked on and it's constant or 216 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 2: something like that, do you then step in and speak 217 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 2: to the actual bully and say, hey, never again, it's 218 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 2: got to stop. 219 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 7: Now. 220 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 8: It's a very different world that we live in at 221 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 8: the moment. Guys, we grew up a completely different environment 222 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 8: stick up for yourself if you get push, push them 223 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 8: back kind of thing. These days, it's very very different. 224 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 8: Children are growing up in a very different environment where 225 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 8: they are exposed to bullies. Earlier on. We're talking to 226 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 8: children a lot sooner in the early years about bullies 227 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 8: and how to treat each other and how they should 228 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 8: be treated, and this approach that we take these days, 229 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 8: it's very different. We talk to a child straight away 230 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 8: someone's being bullied. We talk to them and explain the 231 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 8: situation that what it could lead to these kind of things. 232 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 8: For example, fitty and look like, if you guys were 233 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 8: in the school lyard and cop the ball to the back, 234 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 8: that child will only have one morning. If it happened again, 235 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 8: they would be on reflection. They would be in the 236 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 8: dp's office having a chat. 237 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 4: That's pret that you sound as though you're on top 238 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 4: of it, and you're the kind of teacher who would 239 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 4: be coming down on something and dealing with the children 240 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 4: very early on. 241 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 3: But I'm sure there. 242 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 4: Are parents out there whose kids are particular schools or 243 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 4: being taught by certain teachers who have so much going 244 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 4: on in their day anyway, they don't get around to this. 245 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 4: So the frustration is, I've spoken to the school, this 246 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 4: is continuing to happen. 247 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 3: My kid doesn't want to go to school.
