Homework
Posted by dulwichmum on Thu 26 January 2012
My darling poppet, Freya, tripped out from school on Friday, deep in conversation with a dimpled, pint sized chum;
“I feel it is unfair that Olympia has clearly stolen her poem for the poetry competition from a book.”
“I believe the practice is referred to as plagiarism” added Iris, very seriously (I should speak to her mother, she is developing a frown line).
“It is supposed to be original work, that is the entire point of the competition!” asserted Freya. “That poem is far too good for an eight year old girl to have written. It makes a mockery of the entire competition, it is not an even playing field”, her little face going red and her voice becoming raised (I can see a career as an international human rights lawyer with reach!).
“Exactly my point” cried Iris. “Why can’t Olympia have her father write the poem like everyone else”…
OHMYGOD!
NOTE TO SELF: Speak to James – URGENTLY! If my poppet is to succeed in life, she needs to get a taste for winning from her early years. Freya may never achieve a thing in life if we don’t take drastic action (dabs tear from eye)! James will have to personally complete her homework for the foreseeable future, clearly!

I’m so glad I had my children years ago when it was fashionable just to let them get on with it and fail on their own without my help. It didn’t stop me beating them, clearly!
