fines for non school attendence

[Hazelnutlatteplease]

Anyone actually been fined? I'm thinking of keeping DD home as Covid has now thoroughly hit her school and it really doesn't feel safe. I would rather be honest about it but not if it cost me for every week I keep her off. Anyone in the same situation?

It's a tough time. Nice to be able to help xx

I have kept my son home from the start. Council contacted me last Thursday. I don't know if we'll be fined or not, but don't care. If fined we'll go to court and sue the gov for negligent endangerment. I don't care who says what. We are in the middle of a pandemic and I am vulnerable. And have enough braincells to comprehend that all the fricking hand washing does jack against an airborne virus. Unless they halve the classes (=sd made possible) and mandatory mask wearing without idiotic excuses for half the class no one can make me endanger my and my family's life.

Thanks for the info! It's good to know that honesty is appreciated, at least there we surely scored many points. :)

@MrGruWeLoveYou thanks that's really helpful for the rest of us too. Do you think it will be just secondary closed or primaries too?

I think definitely secondaries will close at least a week early , probably not primaries if they can carry on. But it really is only my guess. Having said that I would love for it all not to be necessary!
