A mum was left furious after she was fined for taking her child out of school for eight days.
She took to Mumsnet to explain that her child was "top of year" and the absence had no effect on their education. She asked other parents if it was unreasonable to "be a bit p***** off" after receiving the fine.
In the thread, she wrote: "Just got penalty notice letters for DH (dear husband) and I. We only took DC (dear child) out of school last month for 8 days, first ever time. I didn’t think a penalty was given unless DC is taken out for 10 days?
