      > Parents have forced three ­academies to abandon hardline attendance policies in which pupils were told to come in even when unwell and were banned from missing school for period pains without further medical information.

      How does such a policy even get past the suggestion stage? Did no one stop and think this is a moronic idea? Concerning that such people are empowered to have such a major influence on the lives of children.

      Now we need a Twitter storm for the Ashcroft academy in London, which bans bicycles and gives detentions to children caught riding to schools. No, it’s not tabloid fake news: their behaviour policy [https://www.atacademy.org.uk/page/?title=Other+Policies&pid=66](https://www.atacademy.org.uk/page/?title=Other+Policies&pid=66) lists, among banned items which may be confiscated:

      *For students in Years 7 to 11, bicycles because the Executive Board considers the traffic to be too heavy and the main trunk roads around the Academy too difficult to negotiate for young people and therefore pose an increased risk to health and safety*

      There was a discussion here [https://www.reddit.com/r/london/comments/1dflb8q/ashcroft_secondary_school_bans_bicycles_how_legal/](https://www.reddit.com/r/london/comments/1dflb8q/ashcroft_secondary_school_bans_bicycles_how_legal/)

      Rewarding 100% attendance with special trips and certificates is disability discrimination at worst, and cynical promotion of presenteeism before the kids are fed into the corporate workplace at best.

      If you’re sick you’re sick. Some kids get sick more often.

      But I would encourage parents of girls whose periods are so severe that they’re regularly off school to see their GP – *not* for a sick note, but for some medical help. It is not normal to have extremely heavy and painful periods.

      This is the end result of pressure from above. Schools attendance is one of the aspects looked at by OFSTED. They are simply trying to follow rules and advice given from above.

      Kinda baffling we got to this stage in the first place.
      We’ve got our entire lives to learn, here we are trying to frantically cram it into a few school terms.

      Lightweight parents that take holidays at the drop of a hat, for much cheapness. Then complain when little Shane or Mackenzie has fallen behind and missed unit assessment. No time for these people at all, engage with taxpayer free schooling for the benefit of your kids.

      The policies aren’t actually designed to benefit students it’s all to improve statistics that’s all that the schools care about, just ticking boxes and meeting targets irrespective of whether what they’re doing is beneficial or not
