Not The Proper Thing In My Books

I appreciate that some people are addicted to football, but to say to parents that their kids don't have to be in school until 10:30 so they are not tired from watching the football is unbelievable.
Apart from the fact that some parents will have to arrange childcare, what does this teach adults and children about responsibility?
The school day is much shorter than it used to be and children need to catch up with their learning enough as it is already. Where do we stop? It seems to me that football is the only sport to get excited about.
On top of that, the scenes of supporters climbing on top of double decker buses shows how much respect some have for the property of others. I agree they are in the minority, but you don't tend to see it in other sports.
I also wonder how many will turn up for work on Monday morning, hungover, late or both. If I were an employer I would not be pleased.

//I'm sure they'll all be delighted if Italy win// Just for the record, I won't. Nor will I be delighted if England win. Nor do I care if it's a draw and decided on penalties. As an aside, I've often thought that an entire competition such as this could be held in a single day (even with the daft "group" stages) by just deciding each tie on a penalty shoot out. I might...

The whole country seems to have hysterical incontinence about this final. I really do hope England win it but (there's always a but) they seem to have trudged their way to the final, unlike Italy who have done it in style. However, as they say in golf, it's not where you start, it's where you finish. We'll see.
both sides, tonyav, the tour's sort of clinging on by its fingernails at the moment

Hi electrochem feeling this way about it is perfectly ok. I think most schools (including your childrens)?? Will be open at normal time for those parents such as yourself who don't want the sky to fall in on the world or turn their children into feckless idiots with no responsibility for being an hour and a half late for school. I expect there will be some other parents outside at 8:30 so that you can all grumble together and show the world how parenting is done properly. In sure your kids will thank you.
I think it's sensible... most schoolchildren will obviously end up watching it one way or another (either because they want to or because their family will make them) so the school might as well adapt to that reality...
I have never liked the football cult (or the way it creeps into schools) but I am inclined to just let people enjoy things especially now.
