My child will not have school dinners because the food is awful, Detentions given for the silliest reasons especially when they are aware of shady characters hanging around school but this doesn't stop them keeping children behind after school which in my opinion makes them vulnerable to be targeted. When then they are left to go home by themselves after school which is almost empty no one around to report or help a child... SMHW app teacher's cannot be bothered to respond to. Homework often set with SMHW is either incorrectly displayed or attachments won't open , sometimes the homework is to much all due on the same day.
