Option 3 [i.e. don't go to AUS and NZ either for the travel experience or to see your relatives]  would be the responsible one.

Failing that, take full responsibility for the lad’s education. Download the National Curriculum, work out which bit he’s missed and sort it out yourself.

Schools have enough to do without catering for parents who can’t obey the law.

You are trolling surely, whether out of devilment or jealousy because you're not going to AUS I am not sure.

 

>>Schools have enough to do<<

 

They didn't for 7 months over Covid did they ?

Despite the fact I was paying my taxes for my lad's education yet had to educate him myself, and having to pay my staff extra hours to be in whilst I was off work doing it.

I ought to ask them to take the fine out of the tax rebate I never got for that......

 

Have you got any kids at school BTW ?

Trolling : "to antagonize (others) online by deliberately posting inflammatory, irrelevant, or offensive comments or other disruptive content"

Antagonistic ?  Yes
Inflammatory ?  Yes
Irrelevant ?  Yes
Offensive ?  Mildly so
Disruptive ?  Yes

 

4.5 out of 5

How do you work your scores out?

You have called me and many many others,  (just abut everyone who disagrees with you) all kinds of idiots and other insults.

I said Aussies would see you as a Whingeing Pom.  You spend your whole life whingeing and over there, the British are known as Poms so,   both words, quite correct.

No more antagonistic, Inflammatory,  Offensive, or Disruptive than stuff we both post to each other, every day and Whingeing Pom,  in Australia, is quite relevant.

I’m not trolling at all.  If you choose to break the law, you should be prepared to face the consequences. That includes a fine and some work of your own, repairing the damage to your lad’s education.

 

We’ll ignore the silly stuff about schools being closed, because we all know about remote learning and about the fact that most businesses were simultaneously closed.

In 30 years time, he'll remember the holiday, and won't remember or care about any pointless 3 week period in school.

I take it you disagree with a fact ?

The only thing inaccurate about Fools comment is my lad's only actually missing 2 weeks of school, not 3.

 

Incidentally, has anyone else noticed the following strong correlation ?

The same ones who think parents should be fined for taking their kids out for a week or two a year (despite them being told to stay off school for seven months during the Covid madness), are the same ones who think :

 

1 - We should all have our lives severely curtailed "because of nett zero" (despite never having been asked at the ballot box) 

2 - I am out of order being upset at being banned from filming my lad winning his first ever fly race.

3 - Suppressing society, strong arming people into being vaccinated and forcing everyone to wear masks (for a virus 99% of people survived and had an average age of death in the early 80s) was the right thing to do.

 

These left wing authoritarians must be watched.

Why is it "silly" ? It is totally relevant.

You show me a parent who thinks remote learning was in any way an adequate substitute for their kids being at school, and I'll show you a liar.

 

>>most businesses were simultaneously closed.<<

 

Most businesses were not closed for 7 months. But even if they were, why would that make closing the schools for 7 months any more acceptable ? Particularly when, apparently, it is so serious for a child to miss one weeks schooling that their parents must be punished.

We’re thirteen years into the Tories being in government.

Chekhov joined this forum on the 31st March 2020 and made his first post on this forum on the 23rd of November 2021. Make of that what you will but that was 541 days of inactivity during a crisis he never shuts up about.

Maybe he didn't have good reception!
