Far be it from me to stick up for that dreadful rag, the Daily Mail, but they have a point. The girl should have been at school. It was a school day. The teachers decided to protest by striking which meant instead of being in school, the girl was at the park. I don't see how they could have written the story without mentioning that she was absent from school because the teachers were striking. Teachers are in loco parentis during school time. Thursday was school time.
