To be fair Steve, you should see the amount of homework... Not sure what they actually do at school!!... My lad has been in over ten times during the past two holiday breaks doing 'compulsory revision', including Saturdays... "Eeee, it's all changed since I were a lad" etc etc etc. Edited June 8, 2019 by mikebv 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't the parents my mate was referring to. You can't go into a school and start giving tickets away without permission and the reasons given (late nights and no homework time) were what he was being told when denied permission by head teachers to give tickets away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit more fun and relaxation couldve put him in a better frame of mind and helped him just as much 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
