@JuliaHB1 @Telegraph why don't we have exams during Christmas time, why always afterwards?

@Dubai_allergy@Telegraph exams are at the end of the school year. Terms set by Christian calendar cos we have Christian heritage & history. -
@JuliaHB1@Telegraph no exams on Christmas Day here in Dubai. why can't we follow suit? -
@Dubai_allergy@Telegraph there is no reason why a Muslim child can't do an exam during Ramadan. They are not required to fast. -
@JuliaHB1 Ramadan is more to do with adolescence than turning 18, so your logic is flawed (1/2)@Dubai_allergy@Telegraph -
@brunobrookes@Dubai_allergy@Telegraph no requirement for a teenager to fast -
@JuliaHB1 Sorry, but you're wrong it's the onset of adolescence when fasting begins.@Dubai_allergy@Telegraph - 1 more reply

@markmoulding I think that is pedantry, to be honest. The exam timetable has been changed (before publication) to allow for Ramadan. -

@markmoulding the changes were made before anyone else was aware of them. The changes were still made. -

@JuliaHB1@Telegraph Your original draft is a rational response to altering exam schedules to accommodate deliberately starved children. -
@DerekJMurray@Telegraph that's basically my argument in the article they did accept! -
@JuliaHB1@Telegraph Taking your child out of school = bad; withholding food from your child between dusk and dawn = acceptable? - 1 more reply

@JuliaHB1@Telegraph is that because you can't actually write? -
@saffyelle
