I have no idea what any of that means but I'm not hoping for an explanation either tbh.

one or two days before term ends, does it harm their education, does it matter.

I'm guessing that your parents took you out of school and hence you missed the punctuation lesson?

[goslow]

Just as long as you don't pity me! I can endure 'imp', but not said in a pitying way...

I pity you for your location not your ability to walk under tables.

ok i wont, .....btw won`t what?

Reason i posted , just read an article about pupils being excluded for wearing shorts on the hottest day, a while ago some "experts" were saying even one day taken could ruin a childs chances at school. i suppose being excluded doesn`t count as a holiday, (well not for the parents anyway)

I think they were vastly underestimating it.

14 seconds missed is all it takes to go from an Oxbridge candidate to a bin man.

The sort of selfish parents who do it are not interested in their children's education anyway.

[CCFC CASUAL]

Parents who keep moving house so their child has to keep changing schools are far worse than those who let them miss the odd day or two at the end of term.

My daughter is a teacher on the South Coast. A week ago, she and her children stayed with us in Tongwnlais, taking advantage of a two-day inset period.

Have the prospects of these poor children been ruined by the need to train up teachers?

Surely if your daughter is a teacher, she should have been in school during the inset days, having training, not having a "jolly" to your place

Yeah, people in the armed forces and other people who have to move house because of their work, what's wrong with these people? just leave your kids where they are ffs, they will thank you in the long run.

So instead of 1 child not getting the required education because they skipped school to go on holiday, a whole class has been effected as she is not having the education needed to do her job

This.

Your son or daughter's first 18 years of their life is not for enjoying. It is not for having fun. It is not for family bonding. It is for education, education, and education. This is the only way they'll be anything but a lollipop lady in later life.

Do you have any idea how offensive it is to describe me as a dwarf when I am a midget?

"A dwarf is an extremely short adult who is less than 58 inches tall. The word midget is considered derogatory and offensive. Both words describe a short person, but refer to different physical characteristics and genetic conditions.

"Midget" refers to a person who is very short, but normally proportioned. The term midget is now rarely used and is considered offensive. But its usage was very common until the end of the twentieth century. It has given way to "short person" or "little person".

"Dwarf" refers to a person with one of several varieties of a specific genetic condition called dwarfism. A dwarf has disproportion of body parts. This is generally caused by a genetic or nutritional disability. Any adult human below the height of 4'10" (147 cm) is considered a dwarf. With reference to legends or folklore, a dwarf is considered a legendary creature resembling a tiny old man, who lives in the depths of the earth and guards buried treasure."

I am certainly not a tiny old man, who lives in the depths of the earth and guards buried treasure.

who was better in a ruck, legolas or aragorn?

Undoubtedly, Aragorn would wipe the floor with Legolas blonde haired extinctions and by the time he was done stomping a mud hole in Legalos Elrond will say it was my turn to kick the princes candy ass.

Haven't a clue what ^^^^^^^means....but it seems definitive......

Shirley, if your daughter is a teacher then she should most certainly have attended the inset days?

Will her parents be fined or imprisoned just as the parents of a pupil may be if the pupil misses school?
