Apologies if this has already been posted.

Is this mother a prejudiced person or is she right and has fat acceptance gone too far?

I couldn't give a tinker's cuss how fat my kid's teachers are, just so long as they can teach. But that aside, I do agree with cassa - heaven forbid if you refer to somebody as fat nowadays, you will be accused of the flavour of the month phrase of 'body shaming', which is nonsense phrase that I find particularly annoying. I wonder how long it will be before fat...

I think the mother is a pretentious dipstick.

I actually agree with a lot of things that Hilary Freeman has said in that article but I would steer away from refusing to let my child be taught by an obese teacher. It would be a learning curve for the child.

I couldn't have put it better myself, Tilly.

She is right about attitudes these days towards obesity but it's wrong to say obese people shouldn't be teaching children.

I wouldn't credit her with the intelligence to have pretensions. To imagine a child can be influenced by the size of her tutor is just nuts.

wouldn't it be great to have a super power where you could make smug thin people instantly fat!

I had kept out of this thread, as it was obvious where it going earlier today.

But I think this woman is just being nasty.....I am sure that the Teacher will be able to teach her precious little bundle with respect and skill....something her Mother seems to be lacking in.

No, TTT. Obesity costs the NHS vast sums of money.

I wouldn't blame it all on the woman in the article, Mikey.

This is typical DM stuff.

Yes, Frozen and the wind changed - remember what Mum said about your face if that happened.
