Accrington is a terrifically boring place isn't it. How this got in the paper at all is a mystery.

The shopkeeper in this story shouldn't be burdened with the obligation to do the job of the school and the students' parents, i.e. to exercise good teaching and sensible discipline that helps students to know that turning up to school on time is the right thing. Of course not all will make the right choice but there's a clear view from the students that it isn't at all necessary to turn up at school on time.

The school is obviously an institution geared up for failure on every front.
