Red face Ok, this PC sh!te has gone far enough

Received a call from Scooby Adz's teacher, it would appear that my daft numpty of a son decided to trip somebody up as they were walking out of assembly, u know the routine, stick leg out they fall over everyone laughs

Been there done it, well it so happens a teacher caught him and told him off, which, quite rightly so, but then she decides to go that little bit extra by commenting on his shoelaces.............yes his SHOELACES

FFS, there only shoelaces, were brought him a ecellent pair a shoe types boots ( his choice)things from JJB SPORTS, all black apart from the laces which are real leather and are black and white.

The teacher passed comment they the school uniform was black shoes/ trousers, black or blue top only, which we adhere to.

can't find anywhere where it states that shoelaces have to be black ?? most are but every now and then a shoe pops along which is different, and we appear to have brought said shoe.

Is this taking things to far or am i going mad ?????

A bit daft I'll admit, but hardly a PC problem, just one of school rules. Never heard of laces being regulated before though......

just to add....maybe the teacher thought your son was being a **** and hurting others so she would give him a taste of his own medicine?

Shoelaces WTF lol fair enough tripping up a kid and being caught deserves being told off but i've never known shoelaces having to be black! I used to go to school with milticoloured shoe laces! although to be fair i dont see what shoelaces being black and white has to do with politically correctness blah blah blah ...
bring back the good old days ...
Bah bah BLACK sheep .... etc etc

Yeh everyone laughs until the person being tripped up smacks his head open on the ground , step etc then it becomes a little serious.

Sorry if that sounds **** but kids bring out the protectivness in people - well they do in me anyway.

I was in Safeway not so long ago & someone pushed my child over & then muttered something like "stupid kid"
Within 2 secs I had him pinned up against the wall & had to be pulled away by other shoppers....scared myself how protective I am

In Holland, different colour shoelaces denote your political alignment.
White and your opposed to the current regime,
Red and you're in favour of it.
Yellow and you're a cop killer!?!?!
Hey, its on the internet, its got to be true...

What planet are they on? Is it that important to them? They are only shoe laces!

Sounds like the teacher was just being an **** (not about the tripping up).

Sounds like a typical teacher to me.....

I still remember the day at school when there was an official anouncement that the deputy head will be performing "skirt inspections" on female pupils

The filthy bint!!
