To help Homeless People living on the streets. Good morning. Welcome to bbc Newsroom Live. A father who refused to pay a fine after taking his daughter out of school for an unauthorised holiday has lost his case at the Supreme Court. Jon platt, whos from the isle of wight, had argued that all the law required of him was to ensure that his child attended school regularly. The high court had originally ruled that the holiday did not constitute regular absenteeism but this morning the Supreme Court has overturned thatjudgement. This is how lady hale announced the ruling. Unauthorised absences have a disruptive effect. Not only on the education of the individual child, but also on the work of other pupils and of their teachers. If one pupil can be taken out whenever it suits the parent, then so can others. Different pupils might be taken out at different times, multiplying the disruptive effect. Any educational system expects people to keep the rules. Not to do so is unfair to those obedie
