Schools must make reasonable adjustments for pupils who are not yet toilet trained, under the Equality Act 2010. Understand who should change nappies in school, how to work with parents and how to make sure staff are equipped to support these pupils.

just because someone isn't potty trained doesn't mean they should be denied an education

it is the parents job but its also the schools responsibility to have a school nurse, doctor there to deal with students health needs as there will be some people who have disability's like incontinence some who are potty trained and still have toileting issues teachers and psw shouldn't be toilet training or changing diapers/nappies school nurses doctors should be and if they dont want to do that then they shouldn't be a school nurse or doctor

If you love anyone, just tell him, no need to waste time. & Leave

I just listen to the arseholes next door to realise just how lazy and useless some parents are. All the the 2 kids do all day is shout, scream, bang things off the walls and slam doors while the useless piles of shit parents sit on there fat back sides and say nothing to there noisy bloody kids. I'm not saying it's easy but it needs to be done teaching kids simple does and don'ts.

It’s the parents that should potty train their kids, and any child still wearing nappies at 4 and 5 are humiliating the poor kid, shame on them... some parents are just too bloody lazy.

I'm outraged beyond words!! England, the fattest country in Europe, parents too lazy to toilet train their children, to read books to them. I don't accept the lame excuse as to their low income background. They can afford to buy nappies. Teachers should not be subjected to changing soiled nappies. I'm fed up with all the apologists

The BBC news today: parents being fined for their children's holidays is up 93% . Their children's education matters SO much even a day or two without being in school and without teachers teaching them, would be a catastrophe. UNLESS, of course, it's teachers striking or teachers encouraging them to go on demo's for climate change, then it doesn't matter a fu** The teachers at state schools are such total scumbags, so totally unworthy - but then we all know that.

Purees can be given in a baby led style.

New stupid fad, pushed by media, accepted by dummies.Very stupid to do this to a baby.If you can't feed your baby the right-way and be a good parents don't have any kids.Ask a parent if they like to choking and gag...is it fun...but they are doing it to they baby.Be a good parents not a stupid one.

No ....that's why it is called home training Also there are literally thousands of books, blogs, articles, chat rooms, and support groups available that are a click away. People live thru and on their phones use that source to get the information to help your kid as easily as you check FB, Twitter and Instagram

As a teacher, and as all teachers will agree: You take care of the basics and early life skills, we take care of the future.

Bottom line, if you're too lazy to teach your kids basic life skills, then don't bother becoming a parent. Teachers shouldn't have to clean up the mess that the parents leave behind. You are your child's first teacher. Teach them well before you let them go out into the world.

Parents should teach their children to use the potty /toilets and have table manners . But schools should also stop putting extra teaching burdens on parents when thats is their job There need to be a balance . My teachers did their job and taught all I needed in school ,and my parents taught me all I needed for home and social skills . But I have started to notice some Teachers spend more time gossiping than teaching and yes SOME parents should do more to teach their children better social skills some children find school a very unhappy place because some parents do not teach their children to tolarate diferences in others . Schools need to repect parents also ,to me schools are now broken, I am a confident parent and teacher that enjoy having my children being a parent is great , and I do not wish to mix school with my home life , my children are very happy at home and do all that is expected of them in school ,but find the behaviour of some of the other children and some teachers very uncomfortable more RESPECT for each other is needed .

What is wrong with taking children on holiday during Term-Time in special circumstances? I don't see what all the fuss is about damaging a child's education; I think that it's a load of rubbish! Can't the guidelines be reverted back to where headteachers have the discretion to authorise up to 10 days per year again?

In the 50's I was trained before two, learnt to read at that age thanks to my Aunt being a teacher, started school at 4 and could read all the children's books by then , some luck but some hard work.

parents should teach them

yes, puree and finger foods when they are ready. I don't understand how people can give big chunks of food to a baby who has no teeth. I've babies choking and gagging and moms say it's normal.

Parents are lazy and want the responsibility passed on. My uncle and aunt brought up 3 kids while my uncle was doing a PhD and my aunt was working. Lazy lazy lazy. If you wants kids, you understand what you need to do. I can't believe we're even discussing this issue at all.

I am a man. However I totally agree with her. Enough of this selective nonsense. If you like the man enough, ask him to marry you.

If you think about cave babies would have eaten big chunks of meat at the age of 6 months and they survived

well actually its the man who asks for the dads hand in marrying his daughter. Sometimes people say are you going to do it and im like nooo because it doesnt sit well with me and it doesnt feel right. If a bloke was going to leave the country and if i wanted a future with him i would tell him i loved him and persuade him not to go but i wouldnt get down on one knee and propose. Im very set in my ways and to me that is the mans job and he has to go ring buying

i think what he is thinking its a soultion to a problem. He is saying this is whats happening so a fix it solution should be made, it is sad that its come to that but the point is it shouldnt be happening in the first place, but as it was talked about it is embarrssing for the child - you imagine you've gone to school and the teacher asks you to bend over and wipe you or take away your self discression rights. Id want my mom to help me with that kind of stuff as a young girl if i was a boy id think you aint touching me - i even go to houses with kids cos my friends have kids and as happy as they are to be around you - you pick one of them up without their consent they scream bloody murder and go suggling off to mommy and the mom will say to you dont worry its just cos she/he doesnt know you yet - now imagine a teacher someone who they've never met comes into your home or you go to school and they pick you up or take you to go toilet train - they arent going to like it. Their parents are letting the side down - you dont know how to do it you say? Find out - you owe it to your child to do that and you can talk to friends family - your mom or your dad or someone you know who has children, or has done it before to be able to help you do that - saying you dont know is a cop out.

private schools dont get fined why is that

I don't like what Annabelle said in regards to babies needing more nutrition from solids at 6 months old. Very untrue. Milk is enough for a baby until age one. "Food before one is just for fun."

My little girl was given the go ahead last week at 5 months to start solids (6 months in 21 days) showing all the signs of wanting to eat she seems to gave chosen the b.l.w route as We have tried given her mashed up food and she turns her nose up at it but as soon as you give her it in her hand without being mashed up she's all for it!

They should learn these skills in the Young Pioneers !

2:50 No, this doesn't happen. If the teacher is smart, which most teachers are these days, then he or she will tell the student to do X, Y and Z to catch up in their own time.

What a load of bull. "leaving any time of year is oh so damaging!" BULLSHIT! Seriously, from year 1 all the way to year 10, that is simply not true, especially if you have the student revise for an hour a day during the holiday (this should only be necessary in year 10). In year 11 onwards it's different, but even in year 11, if the exams are at the other end of the year, then it's still okay to go on holiday. Only in year 12 (AS level) is there no room for holiday since the workload is FAST PACED (unlike GCSEs). In GCSEs you literally go through the same thing several times before the exams, espeically if they're linear based exams.

YES !! OF COURSE !!!

im pro attachment parenting and good friends with a lactation consultant and for a select group of clients she will tell them babies do best when fully breast feed for 1/2 years but most pearents arnt open to that commitment or truth but I will be living on a raw juice diet and bub will be breast milk all the way.

did he say yes ?

I can't even afford to go abroad.for me and the kids :-( so a holiday in Britain Is all I can do. But it is still within budget during term time. And if a child has 100% attendance, or there abouts...I really cannot see a problem. It's just another Fascist rule the Tory's give for us all to "step in line" RIDICULOUS!!!!!

I'm sure that head teacher swings in a direction that means she has never had children.

What about people who have children in different schools, 1st schools, secondary etc that fall in to different councils and have different term dates? you can't win. Everyone should be allowed the holiday they want if they work hard for it, I don't want to go camping

IF anytime is damaging what about school trips, who catches up on what when those who have been away get back? I live on the IOW and see school parties, on the beach, walking in the country, dancing at the hotel disco, if this IS so educationally crippling why do so many schools organise these, in term time trips. A a year 10 group school group from the Island went to Disney as a school trip..but if I do the same I fined???? join facebook group School holiday fines lets stick together

They should define, truanting and a holiday that is well needed for most families to spend a positive family time together away

I'm going to propose to my boyfriend I love him so much

It's not really the child's fault, is it? They don't learn how to use the toilet by themselves. Blame the bone-idle parents.

It really depends on age. If a 10 year old is doing something very wrong like shouting very nasty things at other children, wich is a consious descision at that age it van be allright to smack a child.

Of course the parents are responsable. For instance; iets not the responsebility of a restaurant to teach children a proper way to eat is it?

YES to baby-led weaning..no to spoonfeeding. i dont agree with there comments about obesity..the reason blws are less likely is be obese is because a baby will stop eating when its not hungary so there tum isnt likely to be stretched were as a puree feed baby has to eat more because purees are less filling than the whole food and parent chooses when to finish feeding the child resulting in over streached tum and a baby that needs more food to fill its self up because the tum keeps stretching .

French people feed their babies frogs legs.

There is a definite difference between abusive smacking and responsible smacking. Sometimes, an action which would be undoubtedly abusive in one situation can be completely the opposite in another. If someone sliced off your little finger, would the be an act of abuse? Yes. But what if the reason for that action was to save the entire hand? Not nearly as straight forward to judge. It needs to be considered, in equal measure, how abusive non-action can be. Situations are never just black & white.

Liz, you did a great job. Thanks for speaking out on these issues. Collective Shout is an organisation in Australia challenging the sexualisation of children and objectification of women in our culture. We appreciate seeing others doing great work overseas. Well done.

This metro-sexual sexist is a disgrace to men everywhere. As a father I couldn't agree more with you, Liz. If I want to see 'that sort of thing' I know where to go to get it. This is not the sort of thing to have on general display. The lads' mags are a first step and I'd happily welcome non-sexual front covers to all of the newspapers. It must have been frustrating to have only had 2 mins' worth of discussion, but in my opinion, you easily dismissed his whiny, poorly thought out arguments.

Well done Liz, what an idiot that bloke is. When my kids were smaller I would sometimes ask shopkeepers to put particularly offensive lad mags up on a higher shelf (they sometimes did!), or sometimes I just turned the magazines around myself so only the back page showed. Maybe if everyone who thinks it's wrong did the same, more shops would respond?

Thanks Liz, I heard this when I was half asleep and it incensed me with rage the whole day, still is now!! Gah. You were great.

Oh Oliver, I hope that's not what the take-home message was! I don't think men are useless at ALL. But the survey was about what women find annoying, so that was the discussion. I think they should do the opposite survey, in fairness: what do MEN find annoying (apart from women who nag them, obviously ; -) )

OK so men are useless. what's new?
