"Community Days" at schools. Anybody any thoughts on these ?
105 Answers
My Son who is 13 has come home with a letter last night from school saying on Friday they are having a "Community Day" which is a non-lesson day. He has to meet at school at 12 noon and the school will take pupils to a local open space/park/lakes and they are going to "clear up other peoples rubbish - to help the community".... he has been told to wear old clothes, this will last for 2 hours and then they can go home for the rest of the day. If they dont attend they will get a 5 hour detention spaced over next week. I cannot actually believe it. So he misses school lessons for a whole day to go and clear up other peoples rubbish? Am I missing the point here, anybody else think this is bang out of order?

I have asked if he can be put on another task on Friday instead and they have offered him helping pack bags at the local Tescos - absolutely fine, still dont like the fact they are missing lessons though
