From one teacher to another(America) you get a 100%! In the state I live in I had 8 yrs of college. Took numerous exams to become certified. Worked with underprivileged children who loved coming to school and absorbed everything like sponges. Many of these children moved on to Colleges and Universities because education was instilled in them. She should be ashamed of herself. If her children get so much time off then there is no need to take them out of school for their billionth visit to Disney. Let's see where they are a yr from now when they dry up because Of the YT changesAs a teacher myself, I am disgusted that Lazy can even compare the education teachers train so hard to provide for children across the world to the ‘education’ her children receive when ‘holidaying’ (I point blank refuse to use the term travelling for those idiots).
A 3 year specialism degree followed by a years PGCE and many, many hours of work related experience... Over 60 hours spent each week in school preparing work, adapting lesson plans to ensure each individual child can progress further from their previous lesson’s understanding, marking and providing feedback... purchasing resources out of our own pockets, time spent analysing each child’s data and ensuring they are on track/progressing as required... ensuring lessons are in line with the National Curriculum (it is the LAW to ensure it is covered) and are also fun, engaging and relatable... I am not for one minute complaining. I absolutely love my job. However, those girls are NOT receiving anywhere NEAR the level of education they should be, by law, and their attendance is not acceptable. It is neglect and also a safeguarding concern that those children are regularly missing so much school. Regardless of what fees you do or do not pay, your children HAVE to attend school and cover each aspect listed in the NC. Not some of it, not the bits which fit in around your holidays. ALL of it, and all of it for a reason.
Visiting various swimming pools across France is NOT a suitable replacement and even taking work abroard is not an equal alternative (though I highly, highly doubt those girls have even thought about school whilst away, let alone completed any work or reading). Lazy does not for one minute value the work a teacher puts into each and every child in their class. It is not something you can replace by shoving a worksheet infront of a child. Those girls need to be in their classrooms, with trained adults, around peers who they can learn life skills from. NOT around their family learning how to be performing monkeys and make boomerang videos on Instagram. They are missing out on too much and Lazy’s rant was purely to brag ‘look how much money we can afford to blow’. They are absolute scum.
