But they’re so edgy. It’s important everyone knows.

It's a criminal offence. When did telling prospective employers that you have committed a criminal offence become a thing.

These are the same people who would post their beach/festival pics on Facebook when they called in sick, after failing to have their annual leave approved 🫣 it won't end well.

I typically don’t hire people who can’t adhere to simple rules so no, it’s not a good idea.

Because

  1. last week of term they don't learn anything, apparently
  2. my child, I know what's best for them
  3. holidays are so important, they learn so much on an all inclusive trip
  4. teachers strike

Etc
