Kranswurm Posted February 19, 2021 Share If the schools start firing children for not giving a doctors note for being off for 2 days, and kids start taking the schools to the CCMA, the above might make a bit more sense. Until then, most parents didn't moan one peep about paying full school fees for the last year even though the kids were barely there, and the parents themselves had to do much of the schooling, while still working full time to pay for those fees. So, some of that same courtesy and understanding can extend the other way too. Dont be silly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowbee Posted February 19, 2021 Share Yep, at least in our school Grade R is considered a "proper" school year so it is not a trivial thing to just let them stay at home for a few days because the kids follow a set curriculum. Few years back we took my son out for a few days to take along when I did the Sani2C. Teacher threw quite a hissy fit This is correct. My wife is a grade R teacher and she said the sameAnd it is right here where there is everything wrong with the education system. As in, you miss 2 days of school and you fall behind on the curriculum. At age 5, the pressure is already on them to perform and conform. Let alone the stress factors this places on the teachers. I have realised there is just so much wrong with this. In this contract of yours, I assume it details the parent hearings and disciplinary procedures. Has this been signed off by the Dept of Basic Education ? Tell 'em to go jump in a lake. Patensie and Patchelicious 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen Posted February 22, 2021 Share 2 days off in a row now, has nothing on the forced home schooling over the last year.One thing I will not miss about school after this year is the prettiness.. Jissie they have more important things to worry about.. these little trivial things aren't important.. Edit Also covering school books and fixing textbooks.. If you have boys you have to reinforce everything.. I won't miss that either. Edited February 22, 2021 by Gen Patchelicious and Patensie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
