  • What would they do for the hours after school finished normally or if work on weekends?

    Sounds like a work / life balance problem. Companies will have to be made to change their working practices, allow more remote, flexible working hours and reduced time.

    UK is, very, slowly starting to move to a 4 day week for work (reduced hours, not cramming in 4 days x 10 hours). The productivity increases along with recruitment make it worthwhile. My company isn’t there but 35 hours + 50 days holiday so not far.

    That would solve the 4 day school day. Also allow for parents to educate their kids for 1/2 a day if needed.



  • They can also add punitive damages. Didn’t seem to be in this case BUT a meal marketed at children shouldn’t cause scars.

    With the coffee case had lots of damages for this. MacDonalds had been warned that they were serving coffee at dangerous temperatures, had 700 complaints but it was cheaper to pay compensation than fix.

    They served the coffee at much higher temperatures than other establishments, so normally you’d have 12 seconds to wipe coffee off your skin but with MacDonalds it was 3 seconds, causing 3rd degree burns.

    They lied saying it was done as people wanted to drink after driving for a long time but their surveys showed the opposite.
