					<description><![CDATA[People like you and Michelle Muscat will never understand that people like me do not grow up longing to be married to the prime minister and throw parties at Girgenti Palace, which is actually not a palace at all but a small country house, though that bit is irrelevant in the context.

Those are the dreams of, as you yourself describe her, a girl who grew up in social housing in Nigret.

&#039;Qisha regina&#039; reveals how little you (and probably she) know about the democratic process.

I&#039;m sorry, Jimmy, but Mrs. Caruana Galizia is right. I am a paying parent. The education I was hoping my son would get is not just the national curriculum, but also being around people who behave properly. 

I hoped that the school would reinforce the lessons I am trying to teach him at home. Unfortunately the school is allowing Mrs. Muscat to do as she pleases and it is setting a bad example to all the other students. 

Luckily my son is not in the same class as Etoile and Soleil.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[That&#039;s hardly slander. 

The current situation at San Anton School highlights the fundamental fallacy in the spirit which informed the Parents Foundation which set it up.

They assumed that all the parents would forever more be like them, and never foresaw a scenario in which they wouldn&#039;t.

I had three children there, from 1990 to 2004, so I too know what I&#039;m talking about.

The people who tell me these things don&#039;t have an agenda. They are merely fed up of that kind of behaviour, and they are right. When you are paying a lot of money to send your children to a good school, one of the reasons you do so is so that they are not exposed to this kind of crass behaviour.

The trouble is that people like Mrs Muscat see schools with a good reputation as &#039;fashionable clubs&#039; to which they and their children must belong. They believe they have nothing to learn beyond lessons, so the school&#039;s only value is the &#039;prestige&#039; (press-teach).

					<description><![CDATA[Please assume that I know about this through parents who are sick to the gills of the drama and show made by Mrs Muscat every time she goes to the school.

The headmaster should pull her aside and remind her that she goes to the school as a parent and not as the Spouse of the Prime Minister.

What is San Anton School teaching nowadays - lessons in vulgarity?

Perhaps he could also point out that this kind of behaviour does her children no good - when they turn 16 and their father is voted out, people will enjoy stamping on them and their mother, because that&#039;s how people are. 

She clearly has nobody to advise her that what they need is not 10 years of &quot;making the most of it&quot; but a normal life, because what they have is not permanent celebrity status as members of the British royal family, but something very ephemeral.

She&#039;s doing them no good at all.]]></description>
