With my day job taking me to
Skerne Park today I found myself in the eye of a storm, not storm Jonas blowing
in from the Atlantic but media storm Kate, named for the Head of the school who
wrote to parents asking them to refrain from wearing pyjamas on the school run
(and even to school functions) and as a result found media crews queuing up outside
for interviews, sound-bites and video footage; while I think her motives and
approach are laudable, I also think she is spitting into the wind as ‘loungewear’
becomes sufficiently socially acceptable for some to think turning up to school
in PJs is cool – my absent learner went one better and just stayed in bed allowing
me to sit back unencumbered and watch the show.
