This has popped up on my FB timeline and has been in a couple of national tabloids. School is local to me. Sorry about the Daily Fail link. What's the MN verdict? Having read it in local and national press, I just feel a bit sorry for the children. Being splashed all over the papers by their dad seems a bit unfair.

It sounds like she does whatever she wants and refuses to do as she is told. I'm sure the children at the school who do as they are told have no problems.

Hmm.

I looked at the photo and thought 'Bet it's the one on the right who's in trouble.'

Maybe she has that effect on her teachers too.

If she really got put in isolation for having an untucked shirt I think he did the right thing taking her out.

School's not compulsory. Home ed can be brilliant. You should never send your child to a dreadful school if you have options. And they do have options.

I think his daughter sounds quite defiant and that's from him painting her in the best light possible.

Makes a change for it to be a sadface father, not a sadface mother.
