When I was younger and off school for sickness, they sent an educational welfare officer round because the school didn't believe my mum that I was ill, I was literally laid there with a bucket in front of me, unable to move, my mum wrote a letter to complain, considering I've always had 100% attendance and only ever been off if it was absolutely necessary, it's a joke. Then you get the radfords who send their kids to school regardless, passing their bugs onto other children.
