Daily Mail Article

Post by um »

My Mum (who reads the Daily Mail :oops: ) pointed this article out to me.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/artic ... chool.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Indeed, the journalist had posted here asking for willing parents to contribute :?

I am now receiving a lot of sympathy from her (I was very lucky to win an Indie scholarship but had no stress or tuition whatsoever, those were the days :lol: ) but I am finding it difficult to believe that parents pay £100/hr for tuition :shock: and their dcs receive 3 hours of homework a night :shock: :shock: :shock:

How does one get a child to complete 3 hours a night, I wonder? My ds1 won't even sit and do 15 minutes :roll: .
Do they employ hypnotists too :?:

This article is so reflective of many parents behaviour. I know, I literally run home after work and have postponed birthday parties and holidays till after Jan.
