Poorly pupils should be at home, not in shops

THIS past few weeks, I have seen a number of school-aged children shopping with their parent(s) at school time.

If the child is ill, they should not be dragged around shops, they should be at home recovering as customers and shop staff can pick up their germs. There’s no excuse for children to be out of school, shopping with their parent(s). Almost all shops are open when the schools finish for the day, so go after school.
