Mum fuming as teachers 'shame' kids who are sick by giving out attendance prizes

A parent has branded teachers at her child's primary school "sadistic" after claiming they had set targets for attendance.

As part of this, she says the teachers give out prizes to those who have 100 percent attendance, which include chocolate and other treats.
