The strict father-of-one says his son will spend one hour revising every day over the Christmas holidays.
A strict father-of-one who says he is forcing his son to revise for his GSCEs on Christmas Day has been slammed over the decision. Matt Privet has confessed that he knows his parenting style is a little controversial but claims it is his responsibility to make sure his son gets good grades in his exams next year.
The tough-love father says he has his child's best interests at heart as he wants to see him doing well so he is being cruel to be kind. He told the Mirror: "It's important for my son to keep his eye on his schoolwork as it's very easy for kids to switch off for weeks at a time over the holidays, meaning they go back having to relearn everything from before the break.
It also found that 1 in 10 are making their kids revise on Christmas day with some parents expecting their child to study for up to six hours on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Jenna Quinn, head of revision resources at Save My Exams has criticised these results as she believes children need a well deserved rest over the Christmas break and that forcing them to study during the holidays may do 'more harm than good'.
