BBC: The parents of a girl who died suddenly have received a school letter demanding she improves her attendance.

Megan Gillan, 15, was found dead in the bedroom of her home in Macclesfield, Cheshire, two months ago.

The letter, dated 16 March, said "students must have at least 92% attendance and Megan's is currently 60.4%".

"She's been dead for two months now so it's not surprising her attendance is low"

Margaret Gillan

Good to know that English schools are on the ball.

60.4 % isn't bad for a dead girl

Smart Bug

There's no excuse for truancy.

Yeah, because here in Ireland we'd never send out documents for people who've been dead for years.

Part of me thinks 'jebus' when I read things like that, but another part thinks 'Come on, they obviously didn't do it deliberately, cut them some slack'

It's obviously the parents' fault for not notifying the school that their daughter had died. They let the school constantly call out her name in class, only to say, "Absent", causing untold anguish and grief to her classmates.

Shame on those parents.

You'd think someone in the class would point out that she died if that was the case

Why are the parents here giving interviews to the BBC about a simple clerical error? Let you're daughter rest in peace you pair of c/unts.

Out of curiosity I did a google search on her name to see what happened her. Well, I didn't find that out but her semi-literate friends have set up an RIP Bebo page for her, and there is scandal! The front page calls two other girls murderers and says it's their fault.

Also, when did Christians start believing people turn into angels when they die? That's just messed up.

"TAZ AND ****ING TASHA I HOPE U R WELL PROUD OF UR SELVES U FUKIN MURDERING BASTARDS."

Now that I think of it, maybe Taz is a guy. A former beau perhaps, who then ran off with this Tasha scank and she killed herself. This is all rather dramatic.

I didn't read it all the way to the end but was she allowed go to the prom with the rest of her classmates?

No, she was grounded


Also, in before "Oh my god a girl has died and you are all terrible and this place has gone to crap blah blah blah blah"

We shouldn't make jokes considering the grave situation.

Let's not bury the thread in puns.

The rest of AH is a morgue, at least this thread has some life to it.

A bit late for that.

Gone Drinking

We need a pun forum, because these are the funniest parts of AH threads

I'm still loezling when i think of a loan.. which isn't even really a pun

ceegee

back in my day the teachers would r.i.p. us a new one if we only turned up 60% of the time. It seems the British education system is well and truly dead and buried

In fairness I think it's reached a dead end.

Maybe if he leaves a year or so to post the punners will have got bored and gone away, then he'd be free to post.

(although by that stage it'd be up there with "You'll never guess who turned up at the prom and attacked taz and tasha" in the zombie thread stakes)

Those parents have no sense of humour.
