She is bang on i was told the other day i was CRULE because my 13 is not allowed to have tv in his room and that was by another parent [schock] i found that the standred of parenting these days has fallen to a all time low and whats considred the norm is way off

Parents allowing there chikdren to set ther own bed times
Parents who allow children to watch tv all night. Sorry but if they have a tv in there room you have no idea how much tv they are watching once you are asleep
Children allowed to sit on xbox from when they get home till silly o clock

And children with un fetted acsesss to lap tops and internt ready phones

Often you see children 10/11 at night weekdays in tesco and you think dont they have school and these are not teens they are children of 7/8 years old

I myself have had kids ringing my home gone 11pm i had to ask them to put there parents on and given a pice of my mind after all its not the chidren s fault

Staying up late dose not support a full and engagment in education i i for one dont give a crap about being a judgy pants this teacher is bang on put your sodding kids to bed i right with this head i find its usually the children who are tired who cause problems because they are testy and over tired

That's alright Dom. I am fully qualified to do so.

I wasnt aware my first post even related to the OPs inability to spellcheck - it was in reference to poor standards because children are up all night (apparently roaming round Tesco)

One can only assume Tesco is a hot bed of feral children and dreadful parents.

Now to business. Picking out the OP.

Staying up late dose not support a full and engagment in education i i for one dont give a crap about being a judgy pants this teacher is bang on put your sodding kids to bed i right with this head i find its usually the children who are tired who cause problems because they are testy and over tired

Now what is your solution to my top set, 100% attendance, no behavioural difficulties autistic son who only needs 4 hours sleep a night? shudder I dont do Tesco either. He likes a little bit of telly to keep him amused. Or do you think I should forgoe my sleep, perhaps give up my job due to sleep deprivation and entertain him for the required 10 hours for his age? Come on Op, what would you do?

I don't see any problem in the HT saying some of her pupils are tired during the school day.

I may not advocate trying to enforce anything, but the loosest bed time on teens, but primary children are different.

As far as I can tell, until the teen sleep lunch time gene wakes up, DCs need to be in bed between 7.30 and 9.30pm.

Having a night owl older sister DD2 will do 10.15 exactly, she's in Y7

You learn your child and you adapt with them as they grow older.

Some are sensible, some are not.

DD1 has always, from being a pre schooler, slipped quietly to bed if she's tired. DD2 doesn't . She will sneak her light in and start reading again and regret it.

Both have computers in their rooms, but it's books far more than technology that keep them awake.
