UK Govt. Fines Families For Taking Their Children Out Of School For Holidays

YOU CAN SKIP THIS PART(short joke)...SCROLL DOWN FOR NEWS BELOW

A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood. The next morning while eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbour through the window hanging the wash outside.

"That laundry is not clean," she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap".

Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time the neighbour would hang laundry to dry, the young woman would make the same
comments.

About one month later, the woman was surprised to see nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learnt how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this!"

The husband replied: "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."

And so it is with life.

What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look.

Easy to discuss other people, their lives and things that don't really concern us.

Yet we tend to forget- our window isn't that clean after all.

Clean up your window with the WORD! (THE TRUTH.)

LORD, please give us the strength, humility and courage that we may work on our faults first rather than seeing the faults in Others and castigating them.

Have a beautiful Week !

NOW THE NEWS IN FULL.....

Oct 6th 2015, 08:25

Adeline Pilford has just been fined £240 by Surrey County Council after taking sons Milo, nine, and Rocco, eight, who is autistic, (all main picture) out of school in the first fortnight of June for the fourth year running. The Pilford family are pictured enjoying their holiday in the Greek sunshine island of Kos in June 2014, bottom right. Shahnawaz Patel was also prosecuted for taking his sons Omar, 11, and Eiad, eight, (top right) out of primary school to visit their desperately ill grandfather in Gujarat, India, in December last year.

According to figures released by the Ministry of Justice, more than 16,000 parents have been prosecuted for failing to ensure their children went to school, a 25 per cent rise on the previous year. And many of those charged initially refuse to pay the penalty, but risk a jail term.

A Government crackdown on truancy imposed by the then Education Secretary Michael Gove in September 2013 decreed only cases considered 'exceptional' are granted permission for term-time leave. But there is widespread confusion about what qualifies as 'exceptional'.

Schools are now encouraged to refer unauthorised absences to their Local Education Authority (LEA) to impose parental fines. If these aren't paid, parents face prosecution, penalties of up to £2,500 and a three-month prison sentence.

But some parents who were recently fined said they think the government should sympathize with them instead of punishing them because they had been through one problem or the other and view the holiday as essential respite. 

KEEP SCROLLING TO THE END ...WE STILL GOT LOTS MORE .......

Revenge is a Poison meant for others, which we end up swallowing ourselves. Vengence is a Dark Light that blinds all who seek it. Don’t argue with Idiots.. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
