Perspective & priorities

Just waiting for my sis to turn up.
I'm going to try to help her write a letter to the fuckwitt in charge of her daughters school.
Seems that 3 days before the end of her compulsory schooling she is to have her remaining lessons in isolation & will be forbidden tuition with her classmates.
That these lessons are crucial to her impending GCSE exams goes without saying.
The reason her head teacher has cited for this piece of insanity is that my beloved neice went to the hairdressers two weeks ago and had a few fetching blue streaks styled into her hair for the impending school prom.
Now, let us leave aside that fuckwit head has taken two weeks to notice this in the first place but WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS WOMAN?
Surely to goodness it's what is in the child not what is on the child that is important here.
MY niece is a smart bright and lovely kid who is not a bit of bother.
Consider this
This time last year the same niece was assaulted on a lunchtime by a fellow pupil who, despite the fact she did not even know my her proceeded to kick and beat her and left her with a badly chipped front tooth, a black eye and enough pulled out hair for the police to be able to gather from the scene and give it back to her in a plastic bag.
My niece was traumatised, is still undergoing cosmetic dentistry and took ever scrap of her considerable courage to go back to school & get on with her life. But she did it. With precious little support from the school.
The girl who attacked her was playing truant, drunk & off her head on god knows what at the time. She went from attacking my niece on into town where she assaulted two other girls - one of whom was a friend who didn't press charges.
My sis & Brother in law had to fight hard to get this girl removed from the school, She had previously been voluntarily removed from other schools by her parents before action over her behaviour was taken so no school could technically refuse to take her. Her parents did not have a clue how to deal with her but they did know enough about the system to be able to pass their little darling from school to school. Oh & she's now pregnant.
Still she was wearing her full uniform so that's all right, Isn't it?
