I think one tends to get very cynical when you encounter the problems over
and over. I also think that for many when young you always push the
boundaries in some form or another and hence the only issue is, as we all
did it, do we just say, well, I was a little wild when I was their age, or
do you do what was done to you and get on their case. The jury is out, but I
think a bit of a compromise is what ended up happening.
We of course all think we know it all and are king of the hill at those
ages.

I gave a scathing report to his tutor.


So the little ******* told his Dad that I had given him a bad report and
his Dad called me to find out why.

There was no shouting, swearing or making threats. In fact it was quite
a polite conversation until I said to his Dad "If your son spent as much
time taking an interest in electrics as he spent smoking he might learn
something".

His Dad went ballistic but not at me.

So. You enjoy being a bully. Get a life.
I think you are supposed to be helping him, Yes?
