Have fun.....or be good?

[Pecanpie]

Been pondering this and having read the recent stuff on bad behaviour in classrooms been thinking about the little things that send big messages. What should you say as you send your honey off to school?

[Fuschia]

I tend to say both!

[Pecanpie]

Ho hum, i think i may have asked a silly question...... but got a very sensible answer!

[Fuschia]

Lol, sometimes I say "Don't learn TOO much in case your head bursts!"

I say "have a lovely day AND BE GOOD!" The last point I emphasise as my eldest is a bit of a class clown.

I say, "work hard, do your best & I'll see you at home time" - very dull. It never occurred to me to say "have fun". Hmmm am now questioning what this says about my attitude to school.

My dad always used to say to me 'don't work too hard' . . . . I now find myself saying the exact same to Mr JB when he goes off to work!

i have always said "Have a good day, love you" ( in a sad American kind of way- cycling in south London makes me always want to say I love you in case something awful happens on the way to school - )
