Parents used to be prosecuted and fined in the Courts for their children’s non attendance at school.
There is a current Argyll and Bute Councillor whose mother was fined for his non attendance at Islay High School.
This councillor’s spelling and grammar is poor.
About ten years ago I spoke to his English teacher at Islay High School about this councillor’s poor English and grammar in emails and said that his English teacher’s teaching cannot be up to much.
His English teacher told me that the Argyll and Bute councillor in question was never at Islay High School and his mother was fined for his non attendance. His exact words were “The chunt was never at Islay High School”.
School attendance officers should be brought back to ensure that non attendance of pupils and Primary and Secondary schools in Scotland is greatly reduced.
Several months ago I read an article in the Sunday Times newspaper that the Scottish Government in their annual attendance figures for school pupils count school children who do not attend school as being at school.
Scottish Government ministers and their civil servants should be explaining why they are cheating in their calculation of the annual school attendance figures throughout Scotland.
This is a bit like counting all season ticket holders in the published attendance total for home games at Dens Park whether the season ticket holder is at the game or not.
On the contrary.
My father was a teacher at Fairmuir Special School in Dundee for 35 years retiring as the headmaster in October 1988.
My father always said the units set up in Primary Schools and Secondary Schools for handicapped children were a bad move as these units would be called the ‘Daft’ units by mainstream children in these schools.
The Primary and Secondary Schools were keen for these units to be installed as it kept their numbers up.
I came on here as an Arab to wind you all up..but I'm so ****ing disgusted with what has came out your mouths you should be ashamed..and if it wasn't for having to stay anonymous..I would say who I was ..my son is non verbal..autistic and is the greatest child in the world ..walk in his shoes ..then comment..****ing biling btw..
Don't come back then, we won't miss you.
Couple of points.
Firstly nothing on this thread has come out of anyone's mouth, that's not how it works, it's all typed by finger except when some of your mob come over here and type with your foreheads - as you seem to have done above.
Secondly, and most importantly, no DAB can ever criticise anyone else for being less than sensitive toward anyone with a disability or who is less able than others. I've seen videos. One video is where you scumbag ****s are singing a song at two particular people on a supporters' bus. On top of that is the absolutely disgraceful nickname that you gave those two people - shameful. The other video is where the singer of your disgusting fan band The Cundeez picked up, threw backwards and injured a less able member of the audience in your stinking Club '83 place.
So don't come over here and try to take the moral high ground when you support one of the most disgusting clubs in football that's followed by some of the most disgusting 'fans' in football.
Okay after reading your post I had to go back and have a look through this thread , now apart from one post where someone quoted another person calling some people daft , which is just quoting another source , what is actully getting you so wound up , I have 2 grandkids who are autistic and I can find nothing posted on here offensive to either of them ,
