Your child may be an immature bucket of waste but not all 17 year olds are.

Thanks.

Charming!

I love the passive aggressive 'thanks' at the end as well.

Oh for God's sake, what planet are you on, join in, in the real world, if you think that's impolite perhaps you need to step out your front door abit more often, and if you act like you do on here out there I'm very sure you will encounter some very impolite people along the way, and I shouldn't think they would be using txt talk probably the finger

Maybe she doesn't step outside into a council estate.

And when has a 40th birthday been a special occasion, yeah throw a big party, have the whole family there but to go away for 2 weeks in England and have the school agree to it, its not that special. I don't know what comes under 'special circumstance' to be fair, I would have through a trip to see a dying relative or a funeral maybe.

The DoE say:

Headteachers have the discretion to grant leave, but they should only do so in exceptional circumstances. If a headteacher grants a leave request, it will be for them to determine the length of time that the child can be away from school. This leave is unlikely, however, to be granted for the purposes of a family holiday.
Parents can be fined for taking their child on holiday during term time without consent from the school.

As someone who once was an apprentice and works with apprentices most businesses make a loss on their apprentices as the funding given doesn't come close to paying for their training and official recognition of qualifications.

Currently, I work at a college and my pupils receive identical training and receive £0 an hour, if they did an apprenticeship instead they would receive £2.65 for every hour and they would be given a day off each week which is paid. Apparently a lot of people here think £0 an hour is a good deal compared to £2.65.

Why didn't she mention her holiday when being offered the apprenticeship or on her application?

How do you think it would look if she quit just to go on a holiday when applying for jobs in the future or even for college as she will have shown that she is willing to put a holiday before her job or education.

all I asked in this forum was if she had any rights as a new employee, and I've received parenting skills and a English lesson,

Speaks volumes then really, doesn't it.

A lot of salons treat juniors and apprentices like absolute kerrrap, and the stylists tend to pick on the juniors like old public school fags, so bear in mind she may not even be in the job come September.

Your daughter should have mentioned the hol at interview, as others have said, and it may not be a great idea to nag boss about leave: presumably she's on a probationary period for a couple of months yet, so can be 'let go' for just about any reason they like.

you could always try the travel agent and see if they will give you the refund for one person, as a gesture of goodwill (thomsons once did this for my sis, different situation though)

as for the apprenticeship thing I wouldn't quit as not that easy to get another one

Re the question of holidays,

No, it doesnt indicate the 'sort of person you are' how ridiculously judgemental.... and you were talking about rudeness! Look at what you are saying :shocked:

oh OP sorry i cant help you but it's definitely normal to feel the way you do

and yes actually a lot of 17 year olds do like spending time with their family, i am sure the OP knows her daughter better than any of us on here!
