The main thing I’m concluding from the comments on her posts is that the majority of her supporters demonstrate bewildering stupidity.
Not only do they share her non existent grasp of basic spelling and punctuation, but they lack logical thought and respect for others.
They keep repeating the same things that are true in general, but not true for the Meldrums.
- a term time holiday is justifiable when that’s all you can afford, AND you don’t do it often. But this is their third term time holiday in nine months. And they had two further holidays not during term time, plus two other recent foreign holidays.
- a term time holiday for offshore workers is ok. But Lee is home for weeks at a time, including over school holidays. They were on holiday for three weeks over the summer, with Lee.
- holidays are a chance to learn and experience new culture. But they don’t do cultural immersion or exploration, and for kids who have in the last 18 months alone been to package resorts in Majorca, Turkey, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Florida, Fuertaventura, and a Caribbean cruise, I’m going to bet they are familiar with beige buffets, airports, sun loungers, and hotel pools and have nothing left to ‘learn’ there.
- ‘you do you’
There are many situations where respect for personal choice is vital, and nobody should be judgemental. This isn’t one of them!! This mass disrespect for how their behaviour impacts on others (teachers, classmates) is disgusting.
I’d love to see the educational achievements of all these sheep!
