Prince George, son to Prince William, wants to skip school because it is boring.
The 4 year old new prince is a potential future king, so must be thinking like one. He was born into affluence, transportation via helicopters and planes, already the norm for him.
He may already understand that he belongs to the lineage of kings, that much can at least be expected.
Daily school attendance does not bring the same pleasure as a life immersed in abundance.
Prince William revealed that his young boy is already fed up of the daily routine of school. The duke of Cambridge told a fellow parent during a trip to Milton Keynes on Tesday told a parent on his way to Milton Keynes This should be no surprise after all, he is living life at its best.
At this age, a few days off school may not hurt, but the practice of it could send the wrong signals to other children, that they can skip school whenever they don’t feel like attending.
Schools have a duty to create a warm, learning environment for for their pupils at every stage of their school. A child who gets to dictate when he or she can attend or miss school, can easily develop a self-centered and domineering attitude. All children will at some point want a day off school, and may sometimes need the break, depending on the experience of the particular child.
However, condoning regular missing of school is generally a bad idea.
Prince George will do well in school. He attends a private school , comes from a line of intelligent Royals, and will have all the encouragement a child can need to do well. Prince George will be expected to pass the eleven plus test into grammar and private schools, in the next six or seven years. Prince George’s academic future will always be in the media spotlight, especially at key stages like his 11 plus, G.C.S.E’s and A levels.
Primary school children are rarely tested on any seriously high levels until their sats exams at the end of their final year at school.Prince George has a five or six year period to settle into the lifestyle of balancing being a pupil and being a prince who is an heir to the throne.
The young prince must not be put under any undue pressure in his early years, but should be allowed to develop his identity and form his own outlook of the world
Young George must still be coming to terms with the extraordinary fact that he is a prince, born into the Royal family. That’s why he would rather see the skies and the sea from the comfort of a top helicopter window, where he can also view more beautiful buildings .
School will obviously appear a lot less exciting in comparison with his usual lifestyle of comfort and privilege.
