A ‘tortoise’ is a slow moving and hard shelled creature. Pretty much like the Sarah of Seacroft .View attachment 1273823

What the f... is a tortoys? Genuinely asking if this is a legitimate pronunciation of tortoise?
Guess the great exam mystery will be cleared up in the next few days. Will be really interesting to see how they fake this one.
Lazy, you could barely look at the camera, silly mare.
KikiniIf it was ASBO 'Arrisons birthday I think ASBO would have probably have clothes lined Jason if he tried to muscle in. The Seacroft is strong in that boy whereas Jason has likely inherited Creepy's genes and has the same small man, no balls as his father
I am so desperately sorry to hear of your children’s struggles at a time which much have been so very hard on yourself. I believe the circumstances your family found themselves in could not be quantified or rationalised. Exam results aren’t the be all and end all but for many for what ever reason need them to progress in the ‘normal’ route. Life has a bizarre and diverse being that can blend into many patterns. I hope you and your precious children move on as best your able, The Inghams are very different to most of us. Look after you and yoursWell in my circumstances I’ve told my daughter exactly this.. her mental health which tbh is very poor due to my husband dying last year(her wonderful stepdad) means that she struggles so much with anxiety and depression and is panicking about her GCSEs next year, her school have been useless in supporting her and the hospice councellor has left so she’s had no further support there. I’ve said to her that no matter what happens there are always options
Also my eldest daughter also was diagnosed with autism just as her GCSEs hit in 2018, absolutely fell apart in high school, very clever girl but struggled massively with the school system and the amount of pressure the school were putting on her, basically telling her life was over if she didn’t get her grades so much so the night before her history gcse exam she attempted suicide and ended up in hospital, missed some of her exams and failed them.But she got onto her college course, resat, passed and is now in uni.
I do get why GCSEs are important, I’ve always valued education, always encouraged them to learn, read, and explore the world..but when it comes to my kids mental health, nope that is my priority and always will be.
The education system is set up to fail many of our children, especially those who are neuro diverse.
I do agree that Sarah has failed issy though, by not providing her with any sort of education, not just GCSEs but giving her decent life experiences, educational opportunities like museums etc, that bloody garden of theirs infuriates me.. what a waste of an opportunity, they could have made thier own veg plot etc
Edited to add.. I do have a degree myself.. I only passed 4 GCSEs at grade c and retook Maths and science, still got where I wanted to be..
I nearly lost my eldest daughter at 15 (aug baby) In the greatest scheme of things.. GCSEs really aren’t the be all and end all
Thank you, I do worry for their future sometimes but it’s one step, one day at a time for us. I absolutely detest the school system, I’ve 4 children and two have autism, one has severe anxiety and depression and my year 7 girl is so angry with the world. If I could home educate I would, I take my hat off to those who do it properly.I am so desperately sorry to hear of your children’s struggles at a time which much have been so very hard on yourself.

The poor girl can barely speak English, she doesn't stand a chance at even trying to learn another language.My child is closer in age to Jace and already thought about how I'd pay for her to take exams in the futureIf they travel so much I'm surprised Isabelle isn't learning a language.

She's clueless about grade boundaries, what makes us think that she knows anything about advanced information?My daughter said there was something they hadn’t been taught
That shouldn’t be chucking out flame like that, it’s not a fucking blow torch
I want to ask you if it was the same thing my daughter said but I don’t want to give the lazy one ideasMy daughter said there was something they hadn’t been taught

I wrote it from the perspective of somebody who also had to leave the education system at 16 (without sharing details it was a major health event). It absolutely ruined my life then and I’m in my 20s and still feeling the consequences. My social life, academic achievements and job prospects have not been poor by any means (like you say - there are always options), but I am still grieving what I could have had if I’d been able to stay in the system and on track like my peers.
The system is often dreadful for mental health, and when that’s combined outside circumstances individuals can be pushed out or pushed to breaking point - like in your children’s case and mine. But in Izzy’s case, she hasn’t even been allowed to try.
The broader purpose of my comment was to point out Izzy is so detached from what is normal. I don’t think it’s good, but I believe the mainstream system works for the majority. It really hurts me to see Izzy denied of opportunists and experiences I missed out on, not just due to circumstances but because it’s actively being withheld.
Me too!I'm Scottish and I pronounce it tortoys
It’s english gcse tomorow where they have to do creative writing…imagine issys…The poor girl can barely speak English, she doesn't stand a chance at even trying to learn another language.
Those fuckwit parents have ruined those kids and their education. Shame on them.
I can’t remember what she said. I’ll ask her tomorrowI want to ask you if it was the same thing my daughter said but I don’t want to give the lazy one ideas
Totally agree ,and my circumstances were very similar to yours (including a terrifying episode with one of my girls ,after her dad passed) ,so my feelings are very alike yours.The difference is we actually care about our daughter`s mental health ,confidence and general well being.We drew a short straw with dealing with the loss of our husbands so young ,as opposed to the ingham "parents" ,who do exactly what they choose ,no matter the long term effects on their children.Our kids (and from what i`ve read here ,that includes all the tattlers) ,get the most important things in life from us parents.Love security encouragement and support.We put them first ,a concept Chris and Sarah wouldn`t even consider to be important.I wish you and your children the very best for the future ,and to all those parents worrying about their kids sitting exams or preparing to ,the results they hope for and which gives them self esteem and the chance to achieve their goals in life.XoWell in my circumstances I’ve told my daughter exactly this.. her mental health which tbh is very poor due to my husband dying last year(her wonderful stepdad) means that she struggles so much with anxiety and depression and is panicking about her GCSEs next year, her school have been useless in supporting her and the hospice councellor has left so she’s had no further support there.
