- Unfriendly and bigotted persons; i.e. persons who do not have an open or enquiring mind - but all within reason - persons may have a reason to appear as such - we will never know their backgrounds or where they come from ...
I can so relate to this Scandichic and others..
– There was a period in my boys' childhood where we would regularly find nits (lice we call them here, a more 'unpleasant' word but still the same).
And it always irked me that we were the only parents who reported back to the classroom teacher that they were around so that other parents might be warned to be on the look-out. They must surely have known unless they were rather unobservant, hmm – but maybe it was still a kind of social stigma at the time. (Well, admittedly I didn't like to report back, so yes definitely still a social stigma hanging around there in the 70'es - but I nevertheless did).
At one time – before the class was going on a camp – it had even come so far that parents were warned that on the morning of departure to camp, a school nurse would come around and check each and every child for lice. If found in a child, that child would not go. Tough measures but it seemed to help, all children were declared free and that kind of stopped the 'epidemic' (for a time anyway) …
