They have to practice in night-time conditions I'm afraid. I get that sort of thing here too, although the practice area is a little further away I can still hear it.

UK, Ireland / Polish meat in English supermarkets? [73]
They sell it my local Sainsbury's and Aldi and it sells well. There is a large Polish community in the area but I've seen locals pick up the various Polish meats. My local grocer has a small selection of Polish meats too and he says he sells them OK.
They sell it in Co-Op Food shops and it sells pretty well. That might just be Polish customers though!

Welcome back to the forums Bunia :)
Getting back on topic...today I ate Polish sausage that began with a Z. I can't remember the full name. I've never had it before but it has black pepper through it. Any ideas? It was bought in a supermarket in the UK.

There is one person in the article who I actually know believe it or not so yes, this story is true. Whether it's still the case in that particular school, I don't know.
Yes it was only in certain regions it was implemented in at the time. The regions are named in the article, I don't know if yours was included. :)

UK, Ireland / Father's Day cards banned in Scottish schools [64]
You think anyone would have cared less about Father's Day cards if some adult hadn't said "I feel offended because I am the gay lesbian lover of a child in this class and all the other children are making Father's Day cards but I am not their Father so I feel these cards are just not PC".
Or
"I feel offended. My child doesn't have a Father, he ran off just moments after conception. I feel my child shouldn't make these cards because I am offended".
No kids ever complained.
It's all coming from adults.
However, kids should recognise the significant adults in their life and if it's two women or two men they should be encouraged to make the cards that way. If it's only their mother or their father then they should be encouraged to reflect their cards that way, not discouraged from making them at all.
Is it?

And that's because of the "complaints" that come from the parents who say that these cards offend them.

Although still relevant if it's still happening. ;)
I'm with you on that. Which is why extra funding/resources needs to be applied to allow classes to be split, if they have to be, even for short times as card-making.
Outright bans serve no constructive purpose and let's be real here, they are only made to satisfy the parents and sooth them.

Those are good words Seanus. All children in a school should be attended for, not just some.
A whole class doesn't do something because it isn't seen fit for one child. We had a disabled girl in our class at Primary but we weren't stopped from doing PE activities that she couldn't do, she just did different activities that were within her means and she never complained, her parent (mother only) never complained, she was happy doing what she did. In fact, a memory that returns to me now and a friend confirmed is that the kids in our class who didn't have Dads made cards for their Mothers even though it wasn't Mothers Day and to my knowledge and my friends knowledge, no one ever complained about that.
The golden word in life is balance. If they did it tactfully and caring for sensitivities, I don't see a problem. As long as people don't feel singled out.

If we had better funded education we'd be able to provide a service that meant those who didn't want to make Father's Day cards for any reason would be off doing something else with another teacher or assistant.
By not making the cards we're now discriminating against the kids who have Fathers or whose religious or other beliefs or social status allow them to celebrate Father's Day. So it's a vicious circle.
That is sad and I am sorry to hear it. However, there was a girl in our class at Primary whose Dad died and every year she still made him a card which she took along to his grave with her Mum.
Seems not.
seems little point in a class activity which half of them can't do

Or dads like mine, who died; making me part of a single-parent family of the type which is rarely mentioned.

If they did they will most likely have quoted you. Or if it's more of a personal reply then they should PM you. These are discussion forums not chat rooms. It's not an email service either, private chats with someone can be made in PM. ;)
It wouldn't make sense for you to reply to someone and have you post appear directly under theirs if there had already been several posts made in the thread before you replied. The thread wouldn't make sense. If you quote someone using the quote system and added your message then you will have answered their point directly but without interrupting the flow of the thread.
