Wales is not for everyone, clearly!

Now my pretties, what suggestions do you have for a caption?

I should like to point out some of the refined, noteworthy features of the selective, exclusive private Dulwich schools. For example, a parent who is being informed that her progeny has been passing notes in class, should not be surprised to be told that the child was “participating in the discreet exchange of correspondence” (we are incredibly upmarket you know!)…

Our darlings don’t get in trouble at school anymore. According to their super supportive teachers, they merely hit “social speed bumps,” (bless!). Munchkins are no longer sent to the Head Master’s office for a ticking off, as a result of having engaged in fisticuffs avec chums. Instead they attend “peer facilitated mediation.”

Tinies are not to be labelled as shy on their school reports; instead they are termed “conversationally selective.” Others are not chatterboxes, but “abundantly vocal.”

I should imagine that our perfect poppets no longer have smelly gym socks either but “odour retentive athletic footwear” (ha!).
