Kids can be in school next day: UK Minister on Tuchel's 'Write excuse for school' remark
UK Secretary of State for Education Bridget Phillipson reacted after England head coach Thomas Tuchel urged parents to "write an excuse for school" so children could watch England's FIFA World Cup Round of 16 match against Mexico. "It's...late game...but children can be in school...next day," Phillipson said. The match will kick off at 1 am on Monday (UK time).
