Pupil, 11, told to work harder by school worker 'because as a black person he would struggle in life for not being white'

  • White truancy officer told boy he would 'struggle in life' as he was not white
  • Hertfordshire County Council to investigate the comment
  • Mother of boy is sent a written apology

The mother of an 11-year-old boy has received an apology after a school official told her son he would have to 'work harder in life' - because he is black.

Rosamaria Failla, 34, discovered that a truancy officer had told her child Sonny that he would struggle in life because he is not a 'white British boy'.

Sonny, who suffers from ADHD, had been struggling with teachers at Bowmansgreen School, Hertfordhire, when his attendance started slipping.

Ona reals though

if that kid was from a fairly middle class family

he would have the world at his feet tbh

i've said this here before

in 2012, here in the UK, ethnic and 'posh' = ding ding ding. doesn't get better than that for them.

he will struggle more because of his working class background tbh.
