Now do this put-the-text-back-together activity.
This is the text (if you need help).
U.K. parents will get fined if their children are always late for school. Britain's government is cracking down on "problem parents". Many families do not "face up to their responsibilities" by getting children to school on time. Many children do not show respect for their teacher. Parents already get a $100 fine, but many do not pay this. There will also be fines if parents take their children on family vacations during school time.
The plans are to raise standards in education, get children to school on time, and tackle truancy. The U.K. government said the opposition's policies set pupils up to fail with "dumbed-down courses". It also said opposition policies did not think children might be intellectually curious or "capable of greatness". Furthermore, the government said their policies created very low expectations for students with ambition and potential.
Back to the education standards lesson.
