Perhaps you would explain to us then just how the son's education is
helped by absurdly escalated conflict caused by his father who
'wouldn't allow the school to inconvenience him' by having to drive
all of 3.7 miles to pick him up, and who is now telling him that his
teacher is 'a power-crazed halfwit' and if he should 'have any
trouble with him then just ignore the twat and walk'.

Or do you think that is perfectly reasonable behaviour too?

Ummmmm, well Yes, since you ask. Sorry, what *precisely* is wrong with
my son believing that his headmaster is *not* the font of all knowledge
and instead should be treated as just another resource who's veracity
needs to be checked regularly?

Nothing much, except that the headmaster probably knows a hell of a lot more than your son does, and a hell of a lot more that is factually correct.

Now tell us how that is the same as your telling him that his teacher is 'a power-crazed halfwit' and if he should 'have any trouble with him then just ignore the twat and walk'.


Incidentally, when I went off to study for my first degree, the uni
spent three months 'teaching' us all to question what we were being
told; in other words, to forget the 'parrot repetition' teaching of our
youth when we simply believed everything teacher told us. I wouldn't
presume to say that I'd just given my son that same lesson several
years early, but its a valid concept...

An inquiring mind is different from a disbelieving one. You seem to be encouraging the latter rather than the former. I happen to think that the former is a good thing and the latter is not.
