Kirstie continued: “It helps to be a little bit plumper because you have a little more flesh on your face. I’m always torn between wanting to lose weight and wanting to keep it off my face!’

‘The tears, the lost time together, homework cause many families a real, daily misfortune without a happy ending.’
She also tweeted: “Question, real question, no reason for abuse please.
“How much difference would it make to a teacher’s working day if the government said that ‘from now on homework is reading only, no more written homework that needs to be marked’?”
