Parents are out in force criticising the way UK schools are treating their little angel children, with more than 5 million formal complaints about schools in 2024 to 2025, according to the National Governance Association.
It’s partly down to touchy-feely, “weak-willed” parents, according to Tom Bennett, the UK Department for Education’s ambassador for attendance and behaviour, who claims that children are not hearing the word “no” enough at home and it’s causing a parent gap, which is leading to huge numbers of mums and dads and guardians complaining that schools are too strict.
