Grapple card - Rude pupils

 

 

A Grapple card made its way to Grapple towers today, this time about rude year 10 and year 11 pupils. Note: you can post your dilemmas on Grapple directly, or, if you prefer sending in a card like this Grappler has done, simply ask me (Gilbert Grapple) for some cards...

 

This is what this…

Dear Gilbert, was I supposed to write something on one of the postcards? I couldn't see how to do that- but then you know I am not that good on these things! I am currently grappling with how to get everything I need to do before the end of term completed!I am seriously in danger of missing a manuscript deadline for a book I am writing on school governors - somehow being a new granny has meant that I haven't written much in the last few weeks! Any suggestions to solve this would be welcome! Thanks Alison
