‘On the umpteenth email about responsible breaks, it made me recalcitrant’

Nice, such a master who is involved with his students, but sometimes all those e-mails come out of your nose. And if you click on reply, instead of forward, you have committed a major blunder.

Joy (39) is mother of Mia (9) and Lars (6) and married to Jarno (45):

“My daughter had an inspired, involved master in group 5. Only sometimes a bit too straight-forward, in my eyes. On the umpteenth e-mail about responsible breaks – ‘No cake, but fruit!’ – it made me a bit recalcitrant.

My children are fed completely responsibly. And sometimes the grapes are no longer good and then I give a League for the ten o’clock. After which they get vegetables again in the evening.

healthy behavior

“Would he ever skip a potato for a piece of cucumber?” I emailed a friend of my class mother, with a scornful smiley. The teacher was quite pale and plump. Turns out I didn’t press forward, but click reply. The master never brought it up until I brought it up myself.

“I didn’t appear to have pressed forward, but reply”

I decided to just throw everything open: if he only visibly ate unhealthy things, how could he expect healthy behavior from his students? He happily took that comment to heart. He never ate muffins for lunch again, my kids’ ten o’clock has always been fresh and crunchy ever since.”
