After finishing their six-week summer break, part of the 14 weeks they get to enjoy a lie in each year, you might have thought that the day after a bank holiday, Tuesday August 31, could have been used by the lazy teachers as one of their five INSET days. But no. So instead my son’s first day at school is delayed by yet another day as his teachers, in this 98% white part of Wales, discuss how they will implement new Welsh Government directives on teaching white privilege, that is explaining to my son why all the other kids in his class possess an innate privilege and he is a victim.
Anyhow, he is dressed up, as you can see, and been given a new alarm clock to wake him up at 7.30 AM, raring to go.
