Re: Fine the parents if the children aren't fit for school?

It is very unfair on teachers and the child, not to mention other children, to send needy kids to school, and expect them to learn.

I do think that it is a good idea to make parents culpable, if anywhere could do it fairly I would trust the Swiss.
it would be more productive, in my opinion, to accept the fact that not every child is going to be good in academics. if a kid is not interested in learning at school, i say so be it. the idea of fines is lame brained - just like the idea of rewarding chidren with money for good grades. also, there are plenty of brilliant adults who were awful students; stanley kubrick and albert einstein spring to mind.
