My "deaf supporter" been nasty?

Grassing up - When someone says you've done something when you haven't...
I've sorted it out with the school and don't have the supporter now =) Just on my own
 
What exactly is the supporter supposed to do for you? I gather this is not an interpreter, but some other type of support?

Is your school year almost over now?

I did ask my British husband about the phrase; he said he remembers it as "grassing ON" someone, always in the sense of being a back-stabbing informer. As in "Harry grassed on me to the teacher."

But that was a LONG time ago for him; sounds like usage has changed a bit now.

Your husband is right. There grassing up and grassing on, usually grassing on use more than grassing up. Very common when I was at mainstream school. Grassing on people seen very bad thing, worse thing you can do and make you very unpopular cos whole class will know not to trust you, etc. Never grass on people, no matter what. Not sure if it changed last 5 years or not.
