This will have a real impact on the economy - many mums work, putting kids in after s
How dare working parents accuse the Gov say they want to support parents then cut school hours, cut rates for childcare
We should start by schools being allowed to teach only 3 kids per family max. Any higher and the family has to pay for their education. Only 2 if they are less than 10years resident.
When we decided to have kids, we discussed the practicalities and finance and my wife decided she would give up work to look after them. It was a financial struggle of course so we had little or no holidays and cut our cloth accordingly. How many of these 'struggling parents' these days have two cars, three holidays a year, Sky TV, a mobile phone each etc etc? My wife didn't go back to work until the youngest was 10 years old and even then, she took poorly paid jobs that were geared around the school hours and school terms. On several occasions she left her job at the beginning of the 6 weeks holiday and looked for a new one when they went back to school. At no point did we ever think it was the state's responsibility to look after our children while we worked.
Raising education level, especially for technical colleges and vocational management courses would lead to companies having professional managers.
Professionally run companies are more productive, leading to higher profits and better pay.
The percentage of professionally trained people in senior management positions in this country is woeful.
Scrap HS2 and put the money into investing in people and technology.
Actually they are. All schools have a duty of care towards the sprogs whether they are in lessons or not, as long as the child is on the school property.They're not there to provide a free childminding service.
It goes something like this.
Typical RWR.
Screw these poor working people, they made bad decisions, tough if they cant afford childcare, they shouldnt have kids.
Poor people need a tradesman or mechanic, they ask around the RWR quote them, which they cant afford so find some cheap foreign tradesman.
RWR angry he is losing business and blames Foreigners.
Rinse and Repeat.
A lot of schools have done away with caretakers, relying on teachers to do odd jobs, a lot of schools employ teaching assistants, why? are teachers unable to teach without someone holding their hand ? Some head teachers are on a 6 figure salary, costs could be cut by getting rid of teaching assistants, they could also cut summer holiday's and have longer winter breaks, save on the cost of heating, I know the schools will have to be heated to a certain extent, but not as high as would be needed to keep pupils & teachers comfortable.
They managed before, so if they had 29 kids they could cope now? Some state school heads are on 6 figure salaries, not just academies. A typical response from a loony left apologist.School class sizes have increased, one teacher cant teach 30 kids in a classroom themselves.
You have absolutely no fecking clue.Teachers already work long days. Their kids will be looked after by the school that they go to. If teachers could get all their paperwork, planning and marking done in the school, many (most maybe) would be happy with that. Maybe if schools were open til 5.30pm, teachers would have 2.5 hours to get stuff done, kids could be looked after by dedicated staff (MDAs who are already trained and vetted could get extra work) and people will not need to leave work early.
That could apply to any place anywhere but just because you have a duty of care towards children on your premises, if it’s not your primary service, you don’t HAVE to have them on the premises. They come in, receive their tutoring, they go home. Pillock.Actually they are. All schools have a duty of care towards the sprogs whether they are in lessons or not, as long as the child is on the school property.
Boyo.
