Yippee the children are back to school after the summer break. No more battling with the little terrors in supermarkets or out in the countryside where they ask silly questions like, "What you doing in that bush Mrs."
Before I start my children bashing, let's look at my capture today. This is Stroud High School for Girls which was founded in 1904, not long after a boy high school had been established nearby. The main building you can see was built in 1912 in the Queen Ann style,
The children here were aged 11 to 18 years old and had reached a very high standard of education before being accepted here. My Niece went here for a short period before moving on to university. As for me I ended up in a secondary school because I just couldn’t cope with exam days, I made up for it later in life.
Now back to those children in the lower age bracket, I've said it before and I'll say it again, all young children should be put in cages at the entrances to supermarkets. The parent locks them in and collects them on the way out, simple.
No more having you legs bashed because parents put their children in charge of the trolleys. No more screaming children running a mock in the isles, rushing around and sliding into you. You can read one of my old blogs on this subject:
Well, i think the parents should be reeducated as well. The supermarket is not a place for children. No wonder they throw tantrums. I hate children in supermarkets and in restaurants. They should be banned from such places, just like pets. Imagine a sticker at a supermarket entrance with a child's face and reading: I stay out! :) (In fact, I hate their parents, because I'm sure that given a choice, no child would ever be in the supermarket or restaurant)
A grand entrance to an impressive looking school , - a lovely traditional building and symmetrical in design . Surely only well behaved children would be educated at such a presidios looking place !
Yes, schools are back 😢😓 I'm a teacher in a secondary school and shiver to think of the first days - after a whole summer of being pampered and spoilt by parents, pupils (specially the youngest ones) are really hard to manage.
Great photo, by the way.
@monicac Thank you Monicac, you have my admiration of you being a teacher and at least you're at a secondary school. I think back to my children and never had a problem, today they are 55, 53 & 50.
Great shot. Children are the most important thing in the store. They drive sales. Even if you try to raise they differently, the peer group will do its job.
@shepherdmanswife Thank you for your comments, go to all my blogs on the link below, you might enjoy the second one down about a big black hair monster:
A wonderful historic building - a fav for me (and even though I don't get our much anymore, I'm glad the kids are in school - it's caused major controversy but I try to avoid all news!)
A beautiful old building. No school happening here because of lockdown, but also no kids in supermarkets when I go (early Monday mornings normally)....our lockdown includes only 1 person from each household can go shopping for essentials per day, besides people who cant leave kids alone.
