School politics can be tricky, and one parent has struggled with some in their child's new school.
Dermot and Dave recently received this email:
"Hi guys, I would love your opinion on something. My kids attend a fantastic wee rural school. We’re relatively new to it but have started to notice the influence that certain families seem to have over the school which didn’t surprise us that much to be honest. We just get on with it.
However recently I managed (after many months) to donate 12 MacBook Pro’s to the school. The principal did thank me but that’s been the height of it. Am I wrong to expect more thank just an email of thanks?
To put it into perspective, they regularly do posts to Facebook thanking families for any type of donation including 2 Easter eggs and a few hurly sticks. Maybe I’m overthinking it but feel completely deflated. If that’s how much they care about a €6k donation then how much do they care about our kids? Considering moving school but hate the idea of it. Any advice welcome!"
It certainly had our listeners divided!
