Nope loads of them managed that after full attendance.

It's not cheeky. They still should really be at school, these days off aren't holidays. Those who want to do the work will, the ones who don't won't. The one's who don't have internet, well that's unlucky but they'll have to catch up.

If it was the summer holidays then you'd have a point, but I don't see the problem with it.

Interesting that a parent should think it a cheek that a teacher going the extra mile to keep the education system ticking over is out of order.

It would be easy to conclude that you have a low opinion of the value of education.

I'd best not mention kids cos one of the unfeeling moderaters on here accused me of whinging last time I mentioned em

Well said that man

For all her sterling efforts I sometimes wonder what planet she is on

i bet youve got claim forms coming out your ears , waiting for another snow ball to be thrown in your direction .

junior school kids maybe not, but what about the older ones who have coursework and exams coming up?

Stop being sensible, you'll get banned

No ones said they would, just feel parents should try to support their schools, in any attempt to improve their childs education. Again I can only speak for Bedford but before the GCSE exams they now take some of their kids on FREE revision weekends, to some place in wales, and old trafford, they try to show them the balance by mixing it up between learning time and play time. Wonder if those who are opposed to this idea from Westleigh would turn down a couple of free weekends?

I don't do one minutes overtime for free, why should teachers?

But isn't this week really 'School time'

Plenty still do mate, and not just sport either.

I would say that Mr Farrimond from Twelves is a teacher/head who goes far beyond giving his spare time to the children of his school and most of his staff do the same.
