When baby is sent home because of the fees

Pudd'ng loves school. Missing school, even when she is under the weather, is out of the question for her. Plus, she will do anything, like joining all the clubs in their institution, to make sure that she stays longer in school. In fact, Tenderoni and I have lost count of the number of clubs that she belongs to.
Which is one reason why, when she was sent home from school not so long ago because of school fee arrears, I felt like I was letting her down. I do not like my daughter stressing herself about such adult things as school fees. But I also understand there are days when parents' backs are against the wall, and things spin out of control.
