Not all learning is done in school. Allow your children the time to have a life-experience; if you can only afford to do it tacked on to an existsing 'legitimate' holiday, then so be it. Primary education's a joke - my kids go to a school that has been given an across-the-board Outstanding from Ofsted on its last 2 inspections and yet still in this place of excellence (?) Friday afternoon is given over to 'Golden Time' where my five year old watches TV and my 7yr old plays Connect 4, or watches TV, or similar. Waste of time.

I wouldn't take them out at secondary school level, but I think travel is an excellent way in which to broaden the mind and enrich a life. Have fun xx

Lets hope you don't take her out of school too many times as she may miss her spelling and grammar lessons just like her dad, just sayin'

People in glass houses...









Apparently. Which is why we are expected to fork out a total of over £300 to send our 2 children (different year groups at primary school) away to "activity centres" for 3 days each during this school year.

What are you so happy about? That HWS made significantly fewer errors in her post than you did?

Fook me another spellw@nkathon, What is it with people on here always banging on about spelling? Sad sad people.

The way the daughters school is being run this new term I feel like taking her out permanently, useless head teacher

It was a joke, ffs. I don't care about your spelling, merely pointing out the mistakes you'd made whilst advocating taking your daughter out of school, just thought it was pretty ironic.



Obviously I touched a nerve.

Well my holiday request form went in yesterday. Let's see how I get on.....

APPROVED

You taking them away on your Ark?
