I can remember when my son was about to start school, we had gone to a meet the teachers thing, we were talking with Roys new teacher to be and were happy to tell her that he was able to read and was enjoying it, she was most disgusted that he had already learnt to read as, 'it makes it more difficult when teaching the children that can't read as they are made to feel inferior'.
Guess who didn't get on very well with Roys' first teacher?
