Welcome to Talk Devon

I am thinking, why do they hold voting in schools?

People keep telling us that it is important for children not to miss any time there so it helps with their learning, a few months ago we as parents got letters from the school stating that attendance is important.

So can anyone explain why schools have to be used for this purpose? Another parent suggested that libraries should be used or, how about community centres?

My oldest was annoyed that she still had to go, and so i had the morning from ****! (Considering the schools are next to each other).

Do any of you have an opinion on this?

I know that voting is important, (even though you know the one you vote for wont win!)

Surely there is a better way.
