LET’S hope that all those local parents who decided to take their children out of school during term-time adopt a realistic approach to their offsprings’ education.
There has been a sharp rise in these figures with a record number of parents being fined. Whatever your view of fining parents for this, it’s still classed as “truancy” and is still worrying.
So when it comes to parents’ evening at school, it seems fair not to blame teachers if little Lucy has fallen behind with her work because she had two weeks away in Disneyland out of school holidays. Don’t you think?
