@DrHyde I mean, it really does send a mixed message doesn't it?

* Take your kids out of school 2 days early to go back to the country half of their family is from, get to speak their other language, learn by doing, absorb culture, GET FINED FUCKERRRR ££££££££££. BAD PARENT.

* Watch a fucking game with a bunch of overpaid men kicking a ball about on some overmanicured grass, until a weensie bit late, feel free to waft in whenever you want. Totally fine by us.

What an absolutely insane system.

I hope that when it's the World Archaeology Cup and the Mexican National Archaeological Society team go up against the England National Archaeological Society team, schools here let their students arrive late in the day because they stayed up late to watch the one single night of speed archaeology on the TV at an unsociable time.

Because if they don't, that'd just be ridiculous, wouldn't it?
