[ummmm]

What a role model....

[ummmm]

Did I spell 'model' right?

I hope no more is said about this. He's been punished enough already.

[Sqad]

If they are the true facts.........then he should be sacked.

[royfromaus]

I would like to se his response when I take the kids on holiday during term time. As you know it would save me a fortune.

[ChillDoubt]

The whole thing is a can of worms. I've had to get special permission to take young ChillDoubt a week before the end of term. There was resistance initially, but as I pointed out it was the week when they generally potter about, play cards/football and go to Alton Towers etc so they backed down.

This from the story

//Last week it was reported headteacher and football fan Mark Williams quit his job to travel to the World Cup because he would not miss 'the trip of a lifetime' //

Crikey , giving up a job like that ( lets face it - it's not like he was stacking shelves at Tesco ) just to go and watch 22 blokes chasing a bag if wind across a filed ?

*field*

[RATTER15]

It says for "personal reasons", not necessarily to watch the world cup. While he is off work for "personal reasons" why should he not go to go see the football.

Are we jumping to conclusions, does anybody know why he was actually off work?

[Sipowicz]

I think he damaged his metatarsal! ;-)

[Sqad]

RATTER.......if they were for medical reasons. physical OR psychiatric, he couldn't have been too bad to travel to Brazil.

I suppose other "personal reasons" may have been a death in the family...............who happened to live in Rio de Janero.

[askyourgran]

Lol sqad.

[RATTER15]

I'm sure there are many reasons why he needed to be off work, where and how he decided to spend that time is largely irrelevant. It may have been a coincident that the world cup was on?

Yes I know!!!! Pigs may fly lol.

I hope his mum sent a note.
