So here is Sarah's logic (she really should just keep her mouth shut because things only get worse when she opens it!)...
- Isabelle and Esme have very long school days, 8:30am-4pm (that's 7,5hrs worth of an education, per day, that they're missing Chris - just helping him out here with the Maths part
)... therefore it's perfectly acceptable to take them out for a whole week (not mentioning all the other days), because they can make up the missed 32,5hrs (I've subtracted 5hrs from the week for break times, Chris, just in case you had your calculator out) of missed school work whilst they're in the car, or by the pool, or at Anette's or even whilst riding Pirates of the Carribean - perfect, that solves that concern!
- 2 out of the 3 don't actually have to be in school to be participating or following the curriculum because they are in a very very expensive private school... I am so confused by this! How is it any different to a public school? Surely the most important part is the actual teacher who is, um, teaching the curriculum!?? I see "homeschooling" on the horizon with this logic - and by that I mean the girls and google
- "Travelling" is an education in itself. Now this point I actually agree with, Sarah. Travelling is highly educational and there is a wealth of incredible things for both children and adults to learn when discovering new places... but here is where I raise an eyebrow... during your highly educational travels your children have learnt that Lanzarote is it's very own country, chlorine gives you sunburn and Billy Bob's Buffet will set you back £150 for a family of 6 so best stick to Anette's... winner!
What's it like on your planet, Sarah??
