There is a new head teacher at Gwen and Mia’s school and he takes Gwen’s class for woodwork (last year they had needlework). Last week, one of the class was missing. Big mistake! This boy lives just over the road from the school so the head master took the whole class across the road to collect the miscreant who was at home with his Mum and playing computer games. I think there would be a 101 rules and regulations to prevent this from happening in the UK and I don’t know if this is going to be the standard way of coping with truancy from now on. We have yet to see if this strategy will have a long term effect. This is a boy who has a habit of just leaving school to go home if things get too tough for him.
