ZeroC001

I can see the two sides of it. Truancy was a problem so they've put a "zero tolerance" rule in place. However I do think it would be better if it was dealt with on a case by case basis. Me and my wife spend a good hour and a half reading with our 4 year old son every night(him to us and us to him). We also do any maths homework or whatever with him. The school has given him good reports and say he's doing well for his age. Personally I think the part me and my wife spend with him probably educates him better than the time in school. I think most of school at that age is more about getting you used to the atmosphere and conforming to the rules(not saying that's necessarily a bad thing, it is necessary to be educated in the school system). So I think he'd probably learn more if we took him on holiday somewhere nice than he would in school. However the school probably hasn't got the time or money to deal with these things case by case hence the blanket ruling.

Just had CCS Media on the phone. Had never heard of them before but got a slight red flag when they provided me with a tracking number for a chocolate bar that I know doesn't match the format of the company they claimed to be sending with(checked it later and surprise, surprise it didn't work). She also pretended she already had my details on file and was "updating them" but I've only been in this role a couple of weeks so that's impossible. I'm fairly sure one of the sales girls told her who I was before transferring the call. I am looking for toner quotes at the minute so I offered to email them a list of our printers so she could provide some. She also offered to send me a "free" toner to "fix the price" on a quote she gave for one of our printers, which I of course strongly refused. No reply yet, bet after reading this I don't think we'll be going with them either way. Edit: Forgot to mention it sounded almost like there was a party going on in the background: blaring music, loud voices, etc. Reading other reviews of this company it sounds like a common occurence when recieving calls from them. Very weird.
