Thats great, but doesn't it imply that the government think the parents of these kids don't work for a living and are capable of actually doing this?
I worked with a family where the mum begged the school to keep her son in internal isolation cos she couldn't get out of work and he wouldn't be able to get into their house - the school didn't give a damn and sent him off to roam the streets for hours - he was 11!!!!!!!

by excluded I meant 'suspended' for 1 day! This is also a UK Q

This is silly ..... they tell us we must get to work . then they tell us if our kids are excluded they must stay home...
It strikes me as the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing with our government ...
Instead of arguing who is responsible for the child surely the childs education is what is important ?
I am lucky enough not to have to work .. i certainally could not have held a job down last year

the school did what was right. The other kid's should be be deprived on the basis that this mom could not get day care.
If the mom is working and cannot afford day care, then she needs to get assistance through proper channels, as cruel as it seems, school is for education of children, and detraction from that primary goal is a crime against the children.
There should be a way for her to work it out, with relatives, friends, or day care, if she's working full time, then she'll have to adjust her lifestyle to this new situation, I know she doesn't want to, and I don't mean to imply she's living the good life, but her child is her responsibility unless she admits that she cannot care for the child and surrenders the child.

Sorry, I have to disagree. The purpose of schools is to educate. It's already enough of a burden on them that they must care for special needs kids. Kicking out trouble-makers is TERRIBLY difficult so they remain in school constantly disrupting classes. It is already terribly hard for kids to learn, because the schools have to deal with these two major problems. Acting as a day care center for excluded (don't know if you meant expelled or what) would only compound the problem. At some point, parents have to take responsibility for raising their kids.

As the parent of a well behaved, polite and good children, I absolutely hate it when naughty children steal their education. I have brought up my children well, they are respectful and if they don't always achieve as much as they could, they do not disrupt a class. With four children, aged 28 to 12, I have only ever had one complaint about my children's behaviour (last year, my daughter talked in class. It happened once.)
No school will exclude a child for a minor problem. The education is for all children and if you have not brought up your child to value that education, then you must pay the price. Schools are for educating, parents are for bringing up their children to be respectful members of society.

Instead of sending the pupils home and letting both they, and their parent, watch TV all day, parent and excluded child should both be sent to a special school for incompetents for the period of the exclusion, maybe that way they'd both learn something!

I read this today, yet again the laws are being aimed at middle class families with 2 parents. A single working parent who strives to put bread on the table is being penalised yet again.
If ever there was a two tier society, it's now.

Thats so sad, Barbie...
How can there be such a blind rule/ law?
Surely the school could have a special class for such pupils?
Or a support group if the child has no day care available?
