To think they should scrap school holidays altogether

[GinPink]

~takes big swig if gin...~

Fuck this.

I'm a parent of 3 and a teacher.

I think they should scrap summer holidays for the kids. Round all children up in a hall for 6 weeks and throw supplies in when required. Maybe hire some kind of nanny figure to ensure they don't actually kill them selves/each other.

Parents and teachers should have some kind of free all inclusive child free holiday. Fuck, any adult should have this.

I'm joking, obviously. (Sort of).

How about a kind of kennels or cattery for kids? An outside run and a place to sleep and somewhere to pee. Food provided.

YES @Wolfiefan.

please, please run for office. You have my vote!

Isn't this what an American style summer camp is?

I think there were some camps in the UK when I last googled, but we need more.

Ship them off to a scottish deserted isle where they can bicker, whinge and not wash to their hearts content. Torture them by withdrawing wifi and getting them preparing their own food

My DD went to PGL for a week.... it was £365 and that was half price!! The prices of any clubs/camps are extortionate...
Although that £365 was worth every penny for the week of peace!😁

I like the Scottish island idea. Or send em to the outback to get kicked in the face by massive kangaroos as a rite of passage.

Loving these ideas. I have found my people. Pass the

Good idea about camps!
One of mine did a summer school for a week before year 7. I made him go along ! Lol.

God yes.

Back in school after holidays with my own kids and it feels like a never ending treadmill.

A week on my own in the sun whilst the kids are packed off somewhere would be bloody amazing 😂

£365?! We pay 130 euros (which I thought was pretty bad!)

I thought £365 sounded cheap for a week assuming it's all activities, food and looking after child.

If trump can do it, we can. The need is real. Let's call it the PSMWG - parents sanity movement (with gin)

DD did go with a friend to PGL... that’s why it was half price. Her mum had a Bogof voucher... I wouldn’t have paid over £700!

PM me when you set it up!!

And yes.... £365 is good value for 7 day’s of activities and food and board... but it’s still a lot of money. We are lucky we could afford it. Most of my friends wouldn’t be able to spend that for one child to go away. There does need to be a lot more help for parents to be able for their kids to do some fun stuff in the very long holidays.

All work places should have summer scheme. Only reason I love summer

I’ve just spoken to a mate with 3 dc. She’s been running round sorting out uniforms, finding ties, plus she’s just started a new teaching job. I totally admire her!
