I'm sure it's not me and dh but I cannot believe that primary schools actually make a huge deal of giving out prizes to children with 100% attendance.
For goodness sake - it's punishing the children who have been ill or been to hospital. In the assembly this morning, they actually added on 2 more children who's parents had obviously complained as their kids couldn't have their hospital apps at any other time than in the day! I mean - who gives a toss?!
My kids came home and without us saying anything, dd said she thought it was really unfair to punish her because she had been to hospital and had been off sick.
Out of 250 kids, 12 got the book prizes. It's basically just to make the parents feel utterly bad for keeping them at home.
Well fine - next time dd is throwing up, I'll send her in so she can vomit all over their carpet and not mine!
