Summary
England’s World Cup clash with Mexico is set to start at 1 AM, potentially stretching into 4 AM if it goes to penalties — sparking a national debate over kids’ school attendance. With the coach urging parents to write excuses so children can watch, some schools are bending rules by letting kids in late or showing replays. The Education Secretary insists kids must be in school, but won’t dictate bedtime policies. Parents are split: some prioritize education, others believe these moments are vital for growing up. Schools are finding creative middle grounds — late registers, football kit days, and morning highlights — as everyone seeks the best for kids amid a once-in-four-years sporting frenzy.
