... first off - disregarding the thread context - it strikes me as humorous that the Head Teacher at Littleton happens to be a Mrs Lynn Small! ... "small by title - and small~minded" would seem an apt reference to both her name AND - notably, more alarmingly - her teaching methods.

Secondly, a person with radical s like hers is unsuited to being in overall charge of children at such an impressionable age, until she's made aware, in no uncertain terms, of the error of her ways.

Thankfully, she's had the "good grace" to apologise.
