dandydunn Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 What’s everyone thinking to get the youngsters home? Im thinking a note along the lines of: To whom it may concern Im not gonna lie to you, Matthew will not be in school this afternoon as he’ll be at home with me watching the Scotland game. He will return tomorrow as long as he’s not too hungover. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpyauldgit Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 For Spain 82, my dad, who was always blunt and straight to the point, just told the school, as the exams where finished, and we usually sat about the school, doing feck all for the whole of June, me and my sister, where going to the world cup instead, end of story. The schools answer was , Aye fine Mr Auldgit, thanks for letting us know, and we'll see them back in August. Try that one now, and I don't think the education authorites, would be as understanding.

vanderark14 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 If the schools were sensible they'd give them the afternoon off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiefaetheferry Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I'm putting the game on in class. They'll get the first half then run home for the second. It's a genuine once in a generation event. And we are using the Euros as a learning context. 😎. They'll be allocated a country to study and produce a fact file on 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryWood34 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 You'd like to think most schools and classes will show it for children. A real chance to inspire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do teachers finish work at 14:45 these days? And folk wonder why kids leave school without being able to read and right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just glad the game is at 2pm and not 5pm as it is going to be difficult enough to negotiate our way in sober ....ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted Scotland but the teacher gave me Soviet Union - tricky one that for a ten year old to fit in one quadrant of a mixed material craft montage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiefaetheferry Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Apparently it can be insulting to the indigenous people of what is now the USA. Interesting historical contexts there, having just had a wee look. I won't be using that phrase again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiefaetheferry Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I don't have any brilliant 'excuse' stories so far, but a colleague last year got a belter of a comment from a 5 year old that was funny. The wee lassie said to her, totally innocently, "Excuse me Miss, why is your nose so big?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure you can find an alternative, politically correct way to offend me 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
