Elite go to Lapland In Time for christmas Eve

msgoggins

Given the title of the thread I thought this appropriate :-)

https://www.extraspecialchristmas.com/#howitworks

Buy a promotional pack of ASDA’s Extra special festive Marabel Baking Potatoes, and you will find a Christmas bauble included that will state whether you are a winner or not. There are 101 prizes available to be won. The extra special prize being a trip to Lapland for a family of 4 or £50 ASDA Gift Card.

Sadly the two I purchased were not winners. Worth looking out for in whoopsies though.

Good afternoon Elite :hello:

I have been MIA for the last few days due to RL sagas. After much reading and debate we have decided to remove dd2 from school and home educate her. Much controversy around he but also very good feedback from parents who have home educated their children getting them good gcse results followed by A levels and degrees.

I don't expect everyone to agree with my decision but I was not willing to see my lovely, intelligent little girl withdraw into a fearful world of her own any more. I have felt that I have needed to justify my decision to all and sundry but we have already seen the smile reappear on her lovely face much more and she seems to be getting back to her normal self now that she knows there will be no more torment at school.

She understands that she will have to work hard at home so she gets her qualifications but I feel that with the added pressures that were on her at school she will learn quicker at home. I have joined a few home education groups and will be meeting up with some of them in the new year to make sure dd has a circle of friends and can come together to do some science, music, sport and crafts. Busy time ahead for us all

Anyway, got my Tosco evening tonight - my first so not sure what to expect

My friend home schools her son, and he is doing brilliantly, they took him out through bullying, and the school did nothing about it. He would now be in his last year and is expected to achieve very good results.

I applaud your decision :T

Who is the most invested person in your daughters education, you. So you are likely to be the best person to educate her with the right tools and support. Because you want to see her succeed more than her teachers do.
