last night march 7 2012

Didn't think much of Nicki introducing herself by telling off Kyle and Tariq-she hadn't started yer so had no authority. I'd have been tempted to respond to her "Is this the way you treat visitors?" with "Yes,when they act like you."
Mentoring-my advice.Bide you time,keep your nose clean,and don't let the bastards grind you down!I also share Grantley's antipathy to E-readers.
Thought struck me-if they dramatise Hard Times again,how about Philip Martin Brown as Gradgrind,who seems to be making an educational comeback?
Rhona and Shona-their parents should have had more sense. Drugs-smoking a spliff is a victimless crime that seldom does any harm.I'm sure almost all the staff have done it and some still do.So zero tolerance is going too far!
