'I'm forcing my son to revise for his GCSEs on Christmas Day because it's my responsibility to make sure he gets good grades'

A father-of-one says he'll be making his son revise on Christmas Day, to ensure he is prepared for his GCSEs in 2023. Dad Matt Privet says it is his responsibility to ensure his son gets good grades, although admits his parenting style might not be to everyone's taste.

The 38-year-old from Devon says his son will not be alone when he hits the books, as it'll be a family affair. Matt, who wishes to be unpictured, says on the morning of December 25, the family will read and revise before Christmas lunch, and once the presents have been opened.

Matt has scheduled an hour of revision each day for his teen over the Christmas holidays. The building surveyor says he has his son's best interests at heart and is being cruel to be kind.
