Youth climate strikers are to be given permission to take part in protests for one authorised school day per year.
However, officials warned that"potential for adverse risk to children who are absent and unsupervised is high and runs counter to child protection and raising attainment."A report said"almost all head teachers were not in support of children's absence being authorised" by councillors as it had"devalued the hard work they had undertaken in working with parents who did not value good attendance at school".
"The educational value of taking part in these events is massive. It's building a society that we want to see. We will keep doing them until we see change."Image captionLorna Sweeney, the council's schools and lifelong learning senior manager, said:"Fundamentally, we have to make sure the children attend.
Its August and they're in coats talking about global warming!!!! It was hotter in the 50's...
Brilliant Scotland, it's their future 👍
Boy, that will show the climate! School children allowed a school day out of school to protest climate change should be a repeated protest and will be.
Ridiculous. Making a rod for their own back here.
More holidays FFS ☹️
Why not spend the day helping their local environment? Litter picking, clearing ditches, cleaning graffiti, cutting grass for the elderly etc, something that practically helps rather than virtue signalling which does absolutely nothing.
UTTER rubbish.......... hahahahaha get it..... RUBBISH!!!!!
That's cool, I can take my kids out of school for holidays then. winning
Brainwashing children, well done Scotland 🙄
Pathetic
What's wrong with onions?
In other words teachers wanted another day off.
What the hell have Onions ever done to you? They haven't killed you, so shut up and go back to school you snowflakes. 😡
How very civilised and politically correct. That should see an end to global warming.
So we will go on strike whilst we are on holiday
And with that weve finally broken the world
Try and see how many strikers/climate warriors they get if they set it on a Sunday ...... kids missing school for a day hmmmm I would have told you I supported West Ham to get a day off school
I like onions. Got loads growing in my veg patch. Love them cooked. The smell is divine!
And the question one must ask is WTF for? Schools should be educating pupils not condoning mindless protests against nature.
A day off, but only for the prescribed cause. Sinister, the kind of thing that happened in the Soviet Union and East Germany.
I thought the whole point of a 'strike' was that the powers that be had no say in how you do them!!! Training up the next, obedient, generation to do as they're told, when they're told.
Why can’t they do it during the many holidays they get?
But (sorry), these are their formative years! Time off from learning could have a major negative impact on their development...or so we’re told.
They have just had a long break! Why does climate only become an issue if it means skipping double maths.
NOT THAT THE GOVERMENTS PUSHING GLOBAL WARMING BOLLOXS
SNP government in action.
It’s okay, it’s not global warming it’s climate change these days, since all the warming predictions failed to come true.
Good for them
So parents fined for taking holidays in term time, but now it's ok to have a day off to be a trainee militant.
Smell the sizzling gammon...
Absolutely ridiculous now they will ' strike for longer periods' probably for two weeks in the summer to avoid fines .
Disgusting political pooper.
They were gonna do it on a weekend or during the holidays but were already pencilled in for capturing carbon.. Bless ‘em..
Guess this will open a can of worms!
Lucky they are just back from spending summer in the sun using millions of air miles to get there.
Perhaps they would get more support if they used their ‘strike day’ to picket council offices in protest at the almost total disappearance of scaffies from our streets.
Astounding number of replies from people who don't understand what a strike is. Being treated badly at work? Do your job as normal and stand around with a placard on Sunday when the factory is shut
What? Are they trying to encourage truancy? Who is going to supervise and check what they are doing? They could take the opportunity to do anything they like!
Parents should be able to claim loss of earnings from the school if they have to take time off work
So the teachers losing a days pay then? No? Thought not.
This is just the thin end of the wedge, the 'Climate Change' narrative will be used in a whole lot of other inventive ways by politicians and businesses. Seeing as the general consensus is with the cultists currently, they are making use of it.
I'm sure when it rains they will be glad mummy and daddy can drive them home.
Tell all of them to pick up all there rubbish all year round not one day and having that day will not help the client in fact it will make it worse more pollution more HOT AIR
Every single one of the moaning old funless hags here would have jumped at the chance of a day of from school when they were young. Joyless NIMBYs
Absolutely bonkers, the country has lost the plot
why cant they make it through the summer holidays see how many turn up then
There you go all the muppets south of border head up to Edinburgh, to get your authority to protest and be absent from school for a day
ridiculous
Until major industries and countries make more moves to go green what we do is a drop in the ocean. They are wasting their time. The whole world needs to be on board and at present money is talking louder unfortunately
Once again the kids dictate and moron adults appease. We are doomed.
A scientists view of Global warming.
But they will all still fly abroad to their holidays.
And the indoctrination continues,supported and encouaged by the BBC The utter shame of it
I’d say I’m protesting for a day off, then sit at home and do nothing, conveniently on test day
I thought the point was going on strike from school to make a statement. If you're given the day off it defeats the purpose?
Love Scotland, sensible, progressive and decent.
Now the students with other causes that don’t believe in climate change will also get an authorized school day too right?
All kneel at the altar of CO2 !! Misguided children encouraged and enabled by useful idiot adults...
I don't see any youths in that picture. I do see a lot of children with their parents stood behind them though.
Global warming is worse than onions......
Why cant these people protest at the weekend- too busy burning fuel going out enjoying themselves at a guess
Why can't they do it in their school holidays? They can do as many days as they like then. I am sure the teachers will be keen to give up their holidays to support them in a good cause.
Why are leftists so thick, it’s hilarious really 🤣😂😅
Could they not protest on weekends, half term holidays or summer holidays?
Sod education, lets protest to make countries like China and India for example sit up and take notice of climate change whilst wearing clothes made in India and posting about their days protesting on social media on a mobile device made in China 👏🏼
They are brainwashed....and BBC, it seems the writer of this headline skipped a few school days....'will be give permission'? Illiterate ****s.'
So it's no longer a 'strike'? What's worse is do you know who will help the environment / climate? Those kids who stay in school.
Professors, scientists , journalists and others are in fear of losing their jobs if they tell the 'inconvenient truth' about global warming. The fact we are heading for a significant global cooling in the next few years being just one of those truths.
Can't they do it on a Sat or Sunday?
More kids to groom & brainwash for the dangerous Cult to use as propaganda tools against capitalism
Great kids are getting involved but government don’t listen to adults including experts are they likely to listen to kids. The amount of teacher training days I can’t see why it couldn’t be done on one of those days. Supervised by parents who have had to book time off work
