Speaking of mums standing up to teachers
I had a hideous house-mistress for my U6; she accused me of stealing, skipping chapel in the mornings, bunking off lessons, lying...loads of foul things (none of which were true). On speech day, in front of loads of other parents, my mother and father told her exactly what they thought of her, said she was the most incompetent and unprofessional person they'd ever met, that she wasn't fit to be a teacher, and that how dare she call herself a devout Christian (she taught RS and was always banging on at us girls to lead more godly lives) when she was such a hypocritical bully.

Lots of other parents thought this as well, as I wasn't the only one she'd bullied, but mine were the only ones that dared say it to her face.

I saw her a couple of years ago (for some reason a schoolfriend of mine, from the same boarding house, invited her to her wedding), and she ran away from me!
