A primary school in England has offered to let kids come to school late on Monday morning (tomorrow) after the Euro 2020 final which will hold Sunday night July 11, in order for them to work better during the day.

I initially thought the letter below was a prank, but after checking, I discovered several other English schools are allowing kids resume late on Monday so they can watch...football.

To be objective though, the match is historical as England plays against Italy in the Euro 2020 final, this will be their first final since winning the World Cup in 1966.

The letter in part reads "We would rather have children rested and in school ready to learn rather than absent all day or grumpy!”

Very passionate, these English people are.

9th July 2021

Dear Parent/Carer, If your child is a football fan and likely to be staying up until after I I pm on Sunday to watch the Final, then let them stay in bed a bit longer and come to school by 11.00am on Monday. We would rather have children rested and in school ready to learn rather than absent all day or grumpy!

School will still be open as usual at 8.30am but children arriving up till 11.00 am won't be marked as late.

It's 55 years since England reached a major football final so let them watch the game, talk about the importance of the National Anthem, talk about Aspirations, Resilience, Commitment and Harmony (ARCH).
Come on England!

England breathes football.
The way these guys are passionate about football, when England looses,there will be crying competition in that school tomorrow.

thats nice n commendable unlike naija wey carry school for head kum say education is d key to success....tunder fire dt key bcox such no exist for naija settings

yeah....sure bross and they hardly allows their passion or love for the game clouds their reasoning...
if na naija eeh, na serious flogging dey wait students wey come to skul late d next day after such a late game
even those that were late because of other reasons like traffic dt would also be assumed its because they stayed late to watch football.
where e go kum worst pass na wen naija lose d final against a rival like Ghana....chaaai, d teachers fit kee person pikin wey come late dt morning.

Na dem bring civilization and education... See as everything easy no stress... If na here everything na do or die... Education na disaster... One lecture room to 50 to 70 or more students how dem go understand ..furthermore, 4years course in the uni will turn to 6years if not more... I still don't understand why we keep doing things blindly when we know the way forward... I rise

England does carry school for head and that's precisely why they want their pupils to arrive on Monday rested.

I just wish people would understand the errors of our education. We Nigerians educate our students to believe and become like stupid ignorant naked enslaved Adam, while England and most of the West educate their students to ask and knock and seek and become like use her own senses and become wise Eve.

When there is a country: National Anthem, Resilience, Commitment, and Harmony. ARCH

Beautiful

i foresee many suicide cases in britain tonight. this i have seen

The stage is all set.....

FOOTBAL IS LIFE mehn!

Damnnn niggar

Nice.....
The world speak one language ...and that is soccer

Imagine life without football

For out country now, school owners na only school fees them sabi and how to about and ridicule them staff Dem sabi.

Of course they can resume later after watching ball

They got no much to worry about. No banditry, kidnapping and hunger in the land.

It will not end well for Buhari and his miscreants. Especially the BMCs here!

I pray they win ooooo. Cos dos children might not go to school for days if they loose

Way to go.

If it was Nigeria, one frustrated principal or maths teacher will deliberately resume very early to catch those that will come late and flog the hell out of them.

Academics is good but as a country, we need to realize that many things aside SSCE, BSC and PhD can actually make one genuinely successful in life.

my brother na their religion be that ooo

Really cool, it’s just one day

It'll still end in premium tears

Nice development, but England is losing sha oo

I hope that ITALY will disappoint all of them.

Useless English fans with their useless English Press already talking as if they have won the cup.

Turn on your telly now and you will be hearing It's coming home; it's coming home...

They forgot that the stupid Sterling DIVED to get them to the finals.

But they will surely go home today with so much sorrow as a reward for that dastard act of cheating by Sterling working in collusion with that Stupid Ref and the VAR of course!

Italy do this for me, please

Azzuri, let's go!

Better late than never

The schools should talk true joor, the staff will watch ball, drink and be merry and need to come to work late the next day.

They are now using pupils to cover up.
