Petition Do not criminalise parents for failing to get their children to school on time.

We all know how unreliable public transport is and things go wrong on the roads, slowing down traffic.

Charging poor / low income parents £60 for not getting a child to school on time will ruin a lot of families and give them a criminal record.

Are they going to criminalise bus companies too?

Of course the UK want to show the world that we are serious about education, but let the evolutionary breakthroughs that are pooring out of our top universities be a testament to that... Don't criminalise good, law abiding, hard working people - It's completely bonkers!
