Hi
Today, the school my dd goes to rewarded the children with 100% attendance with a trip to the cinema. In a school of about 90, there was 7 from various years.
My dd didn't get 100% because we took a two week holiday in June. My husband has holidays allocated by his work which this year was the first fortnight of June. Total lucky dip and not negotiable. She had NO other time off.
It also doesn't seem fair on children who are poorly, why penalise a child because they had, for example, chicken pox.
What about religious festivals, bereavement, family weddings etc.
All of these situations are out of a child's control.
If it's an incentive to come to school, for some families they don't care about the cinema trip or school so the incentive doesn't work yet for some children like my dd, it is a disappointment.
Any thoughts?
