Letter: Margaret Squires says her grandchildren enjoyed an early finish in East Lothian – and nothing much got done on a Friday afternoon anyway

As much as Jess Phillips is right to denounce the cuts that force her son’s school to close on a Friday afternoon , will it do him much harm? In East Lothian, where my four grandchildren go/went to school, they all quit at lunchtime on Friday and have done as far back as the millennium . I was told that nothing much ever got done on a Friday afternoon.

Honestly, primary school was an entire waste of time, imo

Not at all. The future of the planet on which we live is far far more important. They are the future custodians and will hopefully be around longer than me.

Doing children no harm is not the point. Dead children is the point. Dead planet is the point. So what if they learn another algebra formula if they're dead in 10 years?

Hell no! Harm starts when school & uni are finished and they are starting earning money and become part of the systems.
