This.
Your son or daughter's first 18 years of their life is not for enjoying. It is not for having fun. It is not for family bonding. It is for education, education, and education. This is the only way they'll be anything but a lollipop lady in later life.

"A dwarf is an extremely short adult who is less than 58 inches tall. The word midget is considered derogatory and offensive. Both words describe a short person, but refer to different physical characteristics and genetic conditions.
"Midget" refers to a person who is very short, but normally proportioned. The term midget is now rarely used and is considered offensive. But its usage was very common until the end of the twentieth century. It has given way to "short person" or "little person".
"Dwarf" refers to a person with one of several varieties of a specific genetic condition called dwarfism. A dwarf has disproportion of body parts. This is generally caused by a genetic or nutritional disability. Any adult human below the height of 4'10" (147 cm) is considered a dwarf. With reference to legends or folklore, a dwarf is considered a legendary creature resembling a tiny old man, who lives in the depths of the earth and guards buried treasure."
I am certainly not a tiny old man, who lives in the depths of the earth and guards buried treasure.

Undoubtedly, Aragorn would wipe the floor with Legolas blonde haired extinctions and by the time he was done stomping a mud hole in Legalos Elrond will say it was my turn to kick the princes candy ass.

Have the prospects of these poor children been ruined by the need to train up teachers?
Shirley, if your daughter is a teacher then she should most certainly have attended the inset days?
Will her parents be fined or imprisoned just as the parents of a pupil may be if the pupil misses school?
