World cup

My daughter who is in her final year at primary school, told me this morning that they are allowed to watch the World Cup at school on an afternoon.

I think this is unbelievable. They happily fine parents for taking children out of schools so that families can have quality time together on family holidays, yet schools will let them miss education just to watch the football.....really?!

If they wish to embrace the World Cup, why not dish out extra PE lessons instead. Mini football tournaments, etc. But no, they'll sit there bored to tears watching a game on the goggle box instead.

Oh what a fantastic idea! Let's reinforce in children's minds the idea that if you love football you are normal and if not there's something weird about you. Awesome!

At my work place we allow it and the children (and staff) love it. All parents are in agreement with it. We also do various activities too such as maps showing where the different countries are, info about the countries, making flags, football pictures etc. Playing football and other sports. The children can wear football kits or outfits from the different countries. Its great fun and educational too.

I'm a huge football fan and naturally looking forward to the world cup. But only time it should be shown in schools should be on breaks, especially if it's not an England match

32 nations from all across the globe could lend itself to some great learning and understanding for the little ones, making the next generation a lot more tolerant to others...

Could also inspire he next superstar

There are some group games kicking off at 1pm (including tomorrow) so I guess if it depends whether it applies to the whole tournament or not?

Opening ceremonies are usually awful bar the London Olympics which was just amazing.

When I was a lad back in the day before the interweb. Football was used to teach us geography getting out the atlas to find out where the games where and maths working out the league's and goal difference.

Every thing is a learning opportunity

Ok, so that's the Poland matches sorted. What about England's?

Very true

Our 2, 3 and 4 year olds love it. They will probably end up having a game of football in front of the screen. Even the babies enjoy it, my 1 year old grandchild loves a game of footy

It's wrong, they aren't going to be teaching them where countries are on the atlas. They won't be playing football, they will be sitting watching a game of football.

Parents are punished for their child missing education, yet the schools do things like this.

There are plenty of football matches on weekends for children to watch. It's unnecessary and ridiculous to take them out of valuable lesson learning time.

I tho k they should make it optional. Those who want 4o watch it can, those who don't can do activities to learn about the countries playing. I kmow my niece and nephew would choose the latter.

I also like the mini world cup tournament idea.

Forcing children to watch football is just cruel and I usual punishment!

My school did this when I was growing up too. Any England matches were allowed. It actually made us more productive in the lessons on the run up because we knew that we had to be on our best behaviour to be allowed to watch it

Just because a child is in a lesson, doesn’t necessarily mean they are listening or taking anything in. Can remember coming out of many a lesson thinking I’ve no idea what it was about.

We were allowed to watch Wimbledon when Virginia Wade won.

Bet there weren’t many exam markers thinking”oh results are down on this paper cos they let them watch sport for a few afternoons”.

Take a look around the world and see what they do.

Not a footie fan either, cricket or rugby union please.

Keep your children off school as a protest then and you teach them something you think is important.

Give over, i was zoned out for about 70% of my school lessons and still ended up with a masters. School gives you an incredibly long time to learn an incredibly small amount. Building a sense of national pride is important and football is the national game.

Both my primary and secondary school let us watch the England games for world cups when they were on, it's really not a big deal

England haven't won a knockout game in 12 years so it's not like there are a lot of games to watch.

That's overly optimistic, they're even going to face a knockout game this time round?

You get fined for much less than 2 weeks, and it's not about the money, its the principal of it, double standards.

Football is a bunch of overpaid boys kicking a ball around. It's teaches them nothing about national pride.

Anything sounds silly if you boil it down to it's pure components. Schools are just a national babysitting service, a job creation center for women with education as a distant third priority.

When playing for England, many players donate all their earnings to charity.
