A mum was left furious after she was fined for taking her child out of school for over a week. She took to the online forum Mumsnet to explain that her child was "top of year" and the eight-day 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 post, 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?", Chronicle Live reports.
She continued: "DC had 100% attendance outside of that and is top of year. No effect on education at all. Had assessments the week after we returned and got 97-100%! Am I being unreasonable to be a bit p***** off the school ran straight to LA to rat on us?"
