A week is a long time in my area. A week off on holiday would be a fine straight away. All areas and schools should be the same way. I’d love to take my children away when it’s half the price. But 1, I wouldn’t want them falling behind as they can learn a lot in that time even at 7, and 2, we would get a fine and the children would get bad attendance. A week is a long time for kids. Friendships at that young age can be broken in a week. Friends find other friends who are there more so they don’t feel alone. Settling back in is hard on them. Teachers don’t try or pay as much attention on kids who are not there when they should be and have parents who are not interested in their child education. If the parents don’t care why should the teacher? The inghams should be able to afford to take them in school holidays. Plus the fact they have already been away so much this year. It’s not like they really needed or deserved a holiday or it was a special occasion. So there is really no excuse at all for taking the kids out as much as they do.
I know plenty of schools that would but also plenty that wouldn’t, I think it is more of a deterrent to stop people from doing so. I was also more commenting on the fact someone said that social services should be called, when actually just because they take them out of school doesn’t = neglect.
I feel they should be more mindful now of the ages the girls are especially Esme & Isabelle because it does become more difficult to catch up if they are frequently off.. but again it depends whether they’ve been sent work to do or not.
the seeming reality is is that they (C&S) do not enjoy spending time At home, didn’t before the allegations whether that’s because they’re both there all week & now after the allegations it’s easier to pretend to be happy families on holiday/elsewhere that isn’t the house.
the life and way they were living beforehand means that the drop in views overall means that money will be tighter than it was hence why birthdays haven’t been so extravagant and neither have the holidays. Last year they had New York, Florida, Greece, Dubai, Australia, Lapland + forest holidays/the dreaded half term caravan trip. Granted a couple of those were gifted, they haven’t seen anything like that this year..
Their holiday vlogs is where they used to do the best, even within the Canary and Balearic Islands so they are still hoping to provoke that response again but it just isn’t going to happen. And will perhaps are hinder the girls education Education has never been at the forefront of S&C’s mind and that had been said even 2 years ago.. so it’s really not surprising they’re still taking them out of school but just because it isn’t the parents doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be the kids.
