Teaching year 11 chemistry this morning. Majority of students out for their geography exam, and several have computer science this afternoon. I'm not sure what is being achieved by having year 11s in regular lessons at this time of year, for students or staff.
Schools really need to remember that PARENTS are still the ultimate authority over their own children.
If I decide my child is staying home, going on a trip, taking a mental break, or simply needs time away from school… then that IS an excused absence because I excused it. I don’t need validation from a doctor, attendance officer, superintendent, or anybody else to parent MY child.
And let’s be real… some of y’all are way too comfortable acting like kids belong more to the school system than to their own families.
My child is not a robot programmed to wake up every morning and perform on command because the state says so. Childhood is short, and I’m not handing over all of my child’s most important years to a system that thinks perfect attendance matters more than real life, family time, mental health, or experiences outside a classroom.
If I want my child home for a week, send the work. If that’s a problem, I’ll homeschool and teach them myself. Reading, writing, math — none of that is impossible without a school building.
And before people start with “they need structure” — structure starts at HOME, not in a classroom.
Don’t send me threatening attendance letters like you have more authority over my child than I do. The school does NOT dictate my child’s life or schedule.
My kids are on MY schedule. Not yours.
@Tipsters2avoid@jhorsewhisperer Probably managing the 1000s of enquiries he gets on a daily basis for his group and waiting list.
It's 1.01 that there is no waiting list.
@Tipsters2avoid@jhorsewhisperer I don't understand why he constantly pushes his group when he is allegedly full with an alleged waiting list.
Something doesn't add up.
He should put the energy he uses on social media into his tipping.
@jhorsewhisperer I don't understand why you post this.
Your group is allegedly full, with a waiting list.
What are you trying to achieve, a bigger waiting list?

Question for the veteran teachers:
I've been teaching for just about 9 years now and something I see with most of my students is that they don't read instructions before they ask for help / clarification and they need to have EVERYTHING explained to them, even the most simple things
I basically can't assume they'll figure anything out (even simple instructions) and have to hold their hands through just about everything
Is this more prevalent now compared to, lets say 20 years ago, or has it always been this way?
I’m not playing many tournaments right now but there was a reg that told me to quit poker that plays WSOP online and his volume is 2x mine while having 40k less in profit and that really makes me laugh. Dudes grinding every day and still hasn’t caught up to me. Stay humble bro.
Just before FPL planning returns for the run in for the final 7 Gameweeks…!
If you could change JUST ONE thing about FPL for 2026/27 what would you want to be looked at the most.
Can be anything big or small. BUT ONLY ONE. 💭
If you answered ‘staff’, can you also answer this follow up…
If an advertised 4% staff fee does not go to floor staff/dealers and is kept by the operator, do you think this constitutes false advertising by the operator.
