I know of far too many cases where the child would simply not go to school. My mother is an educational welfare officer, ie - she takes parents to court if they haven't been sending their kids to school, and failed to meet targets, etc. She probably has to deal with about 5 or 6 sets of parents each week (who often have far more than one child) who cannot be arsed to get their children into education. These people live off welfare, their friends and family all live off welfare, and they seriously do not value education, or indeed even care about their children enough to get off their fat, probably uncleanes, arses. The only time the kids turn up to school is when the parents are finally threatened with legal action. Now, my mum works as part of a team of about 5 or 6 EWOs, and they have these in pretty much every school in the country, there are far too many parents who wouldn't make the right decision simply because their selfish and lazy. Oh, and, btw, this wasn't actually directed at you or your post, Kasz, it's just somewhat related so I quoted it. I know it doesn't actually address the post I quoted. |
Hah, you sound like a lot of the more right wing radio people over here... kinda amusing all things considered.
