Should I allow my child to go out during the exam period?
I'm not really the one to say. I mean it would differ depending on your relationship with the children. Whether or not it will work. I mean if it works then do it. And the same with bribes, if it works bribing them, who am I to say not to bribe them. But I just don't think it's a good direction to aim in. You've got to act as a parent and do what you consider to be the right thing. But I think you have got to understand that beyond the call of duty, it is difficult for them. There is a lot going on during examinations that they're taking. They're under a lot of pressure, and you need to give them a bit of space. And they need to take responsibility themselves and until they take responsibility and feel ownership for examinations there always will be a difficulty. There old enough , their either sixteen or eighteen generally speaking. And they are more or less adults and certainly should be into the stage of taking responsibility. And they should know the outcome of course if they don't do well on the exams. But they are at the stage of making there own decisions and soon they'll be away from home.
