Little Voices should be heard

My daughter is currently in Grade 1 and yesterday she asked her Islamic Studies Appa( Teacher) if she could go to the toilet as she needed to relive herself. Her teacher said "no, you should go during the intervals" after which my daughter who could no longer "knuip" proceeded to shit herself.
The teacher did not call my wife or report the incident, instead my daughter was left in that state till school ended at 2:15 pm.
My daughter felt embarrassed and humiliated, yes breaks are there to go to the bathroom, but what if the need is not there at that time, should you will the shit to come out in that way hurting your stomach further?
When I got home last night my wife was in titanic rage because she could not get to the teacher as the teacher leaves at 1:30pm and conveniently does not come in on a Friday.
If I had my way, I would remove my daughter from that school even if it is one of the better schools in the area, but seeing that finding another school will be quite difficult at this juncture she will have to stick it out there. My wife has a meeting with the Deputy at the school and hopefully this will be resolved and kids in the lower grades will be given the benefit of the doubt when they say the need to go to the loo.

On a brighter note, the IPL is starting today and this year I will be supporting the Mumbai indians, not that I have any preference as to which team wins as long as good cricket is being played.
Can you believe we are into week 5 of the Super 14 already, time has certainly not stood still. I am hoping the Stormers have a good season this time around, it looks promising even though the Bulls seems to be the team to beat, being on top of the log only after 3 games played while most of the other teams have played 4 games.
Formula 1 season also kicks off this weekend, lets see if Schumie will have a good comeback or a rude awakening. Hope its the latter.
With the English premiership drawing to a close the race for Europe is heating up, Everton, the team I support has had a good run of late so hopefully they can push for the final place in Europe.

Well I have not blogged in a while and trying to link this blog to my domain but having a few difficulties, hopefully that will be resolved soon as well.

Till next time

Au revoir

Super 14 some of the refereeing has been pathetic. The Aussie teams seem to be doing better but my poor Sharks are having a terrible run

F1 season is going to be immense. 4 teams in with a good shout. My outside bet is for Red Bull to take it but time will tell.
