Kid's being allowed to go to school late in the morning

[OoodlesofNoodles]

Local schools to me are allowing children to go in at 10am tomorrow.

What do we all think about this? I'm on the fence, schools are shouting about absence/lateness/taking them out for holidays but on the other hand the kids may not see this again for a long time. My sisters kids are upset because both parents can't start work late so they have to go to school at usual time, it's unfair to put parents on the spot with this as well.

YABU - It's fine for schools to do this.
YANBU - I don't agree with it.

@Bluebirdover I'm not saying that. That's what @Greenlittecat is implying.

Parents don't need a free pass to get drunk or take drugs or argue or beat eachother. It just statistically happens more when football, especially big matches where emotions run high, is playing.

Schools have to safegaurd children who have witnessed the above, they also have to cater for children who might be tired because they've had a nice day watching the match with friends and family and who normally go to bed at 8.

It's a balancing act.

It's also not compulsory and you don't need to send your kids in later if you don't agree with it.

No, it wasn't at all.

@Greenlittecat fair enough. Our school is open and no one is allowed in late anyway.

Just all baffling to me. I have 4 and they go in regardless.

I have 4 too! Mine are staying home until 10 😂

I'm just hoping my toddlers get the memo and have a lie in...

Not our school! Terrible message to send,.if they can't get up they shouldn't stay up late, Not that I think a one off bedtime of 10 oclock in summer, is anything that unusual for most school-aged children

Give over. If your kids can't handle a late night and get up in the morning then they shouldn't have a late night. It's football.

@Greenlittecat hope you get your lie in!!

We had an email saying our children MUST be in on time!!
The children were also told at assembly on Friday that they were not allowed to be off or late if they stayed up to watch the football.

Go to bed kids

That’s different. When one child is late they miss the teacher telling the class what they need to do plus they disrupt the whole class by arriving midway through a lesson

When they set up for children to be allowed to come in an hour late then the ones who arrive on time will just be doing fun things rather than lessons, so no one is impacted

They didn’t give me a late start when I was little and stayed up to watch Shuttle launches. Why is football so special ?

I don't agree with schools doing this. And DS primary didn't. The head rightly used to say if she did this, the next time she tried to enforce attendance it would be thrown back at her!

petulant - adjective

"easily annoyed and complaining in a rude way like a child"

I would imagine there's a great many people complaining in a rude way like.kids right now.

2 - 1

And yet again the over paid kids have proven how ridiculous paying them so much money really is... Imagine if Cancer Research / domestic abuse support / rape shelters had 1/2 the funding of a meaningless sport..

Iirr it didn't affect a school day when the Lionesses won.

Yes. My school was shut for weeks.

It's not the same.

The children aren't going to work.
They are having their last week of school for the academic year, for majority anyway.

The teachers will be in as normal - schools are, in the main, open as normal with some allowing pupils to come in a little later than normal without getting a late mark.

There are some workplaces allowing staff to come in later with no penalty to.

Dh's work did exactly the same for the women's football too.

I can’t believe children go to bed so early that they can’t cope with staying up until 10!

‘Schools can do what they like.
But next time my kids late and they send me a shitty text, I'll be popping in for a chat’

This is petulant.
You can copy the meaning of the work petulant as many times as you like.

That's about 2 hours past normal primary kids bedtime. If I went to bed at midnight I would really feel it the next day!

Iirr the lionesses game was in school holidays.
It wasn't on a Sunday night in term time.
So that's what school wasn't affected by a later start.

Hth.

Boeing?

Idk if you saw a thread recently about things you hate on MN but someone posted that they read HTH as Hark The Herald.

This is the first time I've seen it in the wild and it's now stuck in my head 😂

No idea what this is supposed to mean
