Because state education is great...oh wait Schools will always vary in quality but things can be improved with the level of interaction and support provided by the parents / guardians at home. If you have an issue with the quality of your child's teachers then take it up with the head. If you want your child to get ahead vs their classmates then work more with them at home. If you want them to get a top job then find the money to send them to a better school. If you don't agree with them learning about 'fecking muslims' as you put it then just sign them up for the 'Young EDL' That'll help install that blinkered viewpoint a bit faster. Or just pull them out of school and run your own curriculum. Edited January 15, 2014 by TheRealChuckNorris 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 This is bullshit, I can see the prices getting even higher now for holidays that are in line with the school holidays. Yet another policy that plays into the hands big business. Holiday firms this time.. It's also a criminal offense! How messed up is that?? Yep, just another bullshit policy that only serves to criminalise normal, everyday people. Someone tell me how this current lot are any different from the last lot? This is yet another example of 'Nanny knows best'.. Or... Maybe they realise that people like the member who has already posted on this thread and said he paid the fine and still managed to get away cheaper will still go away, and this is therefore yet another sly tax.. They should have just called it '£120 take your kids away in term time tax' and have done with it. I bet the initial fine amount was carefully worked out so it still didn't make it more expensive to go away in term time. If it was really meant at a deterrent surely the idea would have been to make it more expensive for the family to go away in term time. It would have actually worked then..

Yep, they've priced it at a rate that is a pain but not too extortionate and therefore affordable. If it was much higher then far too many people would just tell them where to go and dare them to start the legal proceedings - which I think would be too much of an unwelcome distraction and cost to the LEAs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps they ought to rethink their lesson plans. Edited January 15, 2014 by TheRealChuckNorris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheRealChuckNorris 42 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 You need to learn to read Silly me, here I was thinking you had replied to the content of my post (given you quoted it) and you'd switched from your racist rant to then stating 5 year olds get classes on sex education. I was referring to your children and how you'd choose to 'educate' them. What I said was marginally tongue in cheek but I wouldn't expect you to get that. If your entire family works in education and they all think it's a total disgrace then maybe they should seek another career path as they're not going to be trying their best or the best advocates for the curriculum they're working with.
