IT would appear a school in the south of England has come up with a novel way of encouraging the fathers of its male pupils to play an active part in after-school activities. It pays them!

To create that special bonding between father and son, the school pays the fathers to come in on an evening and help their sons in sports activities and photography lessons etc.

What happened to going to the school because you wanted to, or because you wanted to see your kids do well?
