Primary school will give pupils Friday afternoons off as children 'lack focus' by end of weekA primary school is to give pupils Friday afternoons off as they say that children "lack focus" by the end of the week. Parents get strung up for taking a child out of school during term time... but it's okay for teachers to scrap Fridays?
