British boy never missed single day in school

A British teenager who has not missed a single day in school since nursery says it is partly due to luck -- he fell sick only during holidays.


Sixteen-year-old Stephen Booth, a resident of Stoke-on-Trent, has had a flawless attendance record for 12 consecutive years.


"I've just never been ill, I've never been so bad that I've needed a day off. I like school and I want to do well. I want to get good grades... I'm very proud of it," the Daily Mail quoted him as saying.


"If I am ill, it's generally only during school holidays. It's just been a stroke of luck."

His proud mother Karen said: "(Stephen) has got this natural ability, he loves Science. He's not a typical teenager, he gets up at 6.30 am to get up ready for school. He's never even been late. He has realised that in order to get a good job, he needs good grades."
