I see the thread is still going strong. My views are as they were some 300 and odd posts ago.

1. It’s the legal obligation of the parent to have their child attend school
2. It’s the job of the teaching staff to tend to their duties once the child is at school

Where the shopkeeper comes into the equation ( when blame is being apportioned ) beats me. It’s none of the shopkeepers business what the kids are doing either in his shop or elsewhere.
