Even if he won I would personally think it's a waste of time for £60, you would have to be really invested in the principle of the matter and at best I think it's a dodgy principle. I can understand how a parent would feel best placed to judge what is best for their children but if everyone is doing it then you can also see how disruptive it would be to have random children missing for a week over a school term. You could easily end up in a situation where the teacher has to keep going back over previously covered topics to account for children who missed the previous week.
