6. ‘Inadequate’ school attendance.
Otherwise known as, “Not being willing to drag your child to school by their hair,"
Or, “Not standing by to watch your child gradually disappear into a lonely pit of distress, hopelessness, agony, and despair.”
Is my kid fine at school?
Is it a relief when it's term time?
The answer for me has always been, 'no'. I've always been full of dread when the end of the holidays is upon us.
