A dad pulled the ultimate prank on his kids by sending them a fake government letter saying schools would be open seven days a week for the next six months .
Liam Schewitz a sales director and comedian got his own back on his two daughter 's Frankie , aged eight and Millie , 11 , after they declared the start of `` prank week '' .
He recreated a letter from Boris Johnson saying that once lockdown had been lifted , schools would be holding weekend sessions to make up for missed education during lockdown .
He took to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has been banging on about 'prank week ' and has been royally pranking us all day .
“ Little does she know , her father is the prank master Both of them panicking now , the bonus is that their sadness has brought a hush into the house . ''
It 's clear to see why the girls believed their dad , as the letter looked just the part with its government logo and signature from the prime minister .
It reads : `` Thank you for all you have done so far @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the quarantine period .
Together , we will beat this virus far more quickly , and we can return to normal as soon as possible .
`` Unfortunately , with your child staying at home this means your child may have missed over 50+ days of school by the time we return to normality .
`` I would like to take this opportunity to reassure you that we are doing everything we can to ensure your child 's education is maintained in any way and not hindered by the pandemic .
`` For @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , we will quickly make up for lost time by not only teaching your children from Monday to Friday , but also making it compulsory for your child to attend school on Saturdays and Sundays for the first 6 months . ''
Liam said : `` My eldest , 11 , has her friends on a speaker phone group chat , she 's sent it to them .
`` Words like 'it 's mandatory ' are being shrieked out .
`` This is the best day ever . ''
`` I could hear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ went on a walk and they were talking about what would happen to the water parks . ''
He continued : `` My other half and I are discussing how to kill time when they go back to school on the weekends .
“ Openly debating about going to funfairs and the beach before picking them up from school .
`` They ’ re frantically researching it now .
I ’ ve told them that the government is drip feeding the letters out so there ’ s no loss of morale with kids @ @ @ @ @ @ @ come for me with farts and paintings of pops and I will come for you kids .
`` You will reap the fruits of what you sow .
`` Welcome to the big leagues .
`` You come for the king kiddo you better not miss . ''
After hours of researching , Liam finally told the girls the truth .
And since the prank worked so well on his children , other parents have tried it out too , and have had similar results .
One person said : `` I read @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 10 and 8 burst in to tears and called me a horrible parent .
My 5 yo laughed and said no dad ! ''
And another commented : `` Just sent this to my bro and partner .
My niece is in pieces and my partner has had a day of hell home schooling .
So this is his utter revenge .
Thank you . ''
A third also said : `` Genius !
`` .

Labour is urging the Department to continue to pay providers during the coronavirus pandemic - even if the apprenticeships can not be carried out .
Courses relating to many of Britain ’ s 627,700 apprentices will have to be suspended if the Department of Education refuses to follow Government advice to protect independent apprenticeship providers - at least until the end of June .
Providers have seen their incomes crash due to courses being unable to complete , low new starter numbers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a quarter of apprenticeship providers rated their chances of survival as less than 50 per cent without government support , according to the Association of Education and Learning Providers .
Remit Group Ltd , which carry out between 3,000 and 5,000 apprentices a year , claimed that without the guidance being followed , their losses “ would be unsustainable ” .
Their managing director Sue Pittock told the Mirror : “ Remit will incur losses of over £1,000,000 in the next three months .
Despite furloughing a number of staff we are still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a magnitude likely to render it unsustainable in future .

This vital part of our education ecosystem is vital for businesses economic recovery , if the government don ’ t apply their own guidance.

The Department for Education has been contacted for comment .

EXCLUSIVE Labour is urging the government to continue to pay private providers even if they cannot offer apprenticeships during the pandemic to keep their businesses afloat
Coronavirus: Fears that thousands of apprenticeships could be lost without government support
Thousands of apprenticeships could be lost without government support according to warnings by Labour and the sector.
Labour is urging the Department to continue to pay providers during the coronavirus pandemic - even if the apprenticeships cannot be carried out.
Courses relating to many of Britain’s 627,700 apprentices will have to be suspended if the Department of Education refuses to follow Government advice to protect independent apprenticeship providers - at least until the end of June.
Providers have seen their incomes crash due to courses being unable to complete, low new starter numbers, and funding being halted.
While a quarter of apprenticeship providers rated their chances of survival as less than 50 per cent without government support, according to the Association of Education and Learning Providers.

Remit Group Ltd, which carry out between 3,000 and 5,000 apprentices a year, claimed that without the guidance being followed, their losses “would be unsustainable”.
Their managing director Sue Pittock told the Mirror: “Remit will incur losses of over £1,000,000 in the next three months.
Despite furloughing a number of staff we are still forecasting a loss to the business of a magnitude likely to render it unsustainable in future.
“This would see thousands of apprentices disadvantaged and not able to continue their programme. This vital part of our education ecosystem is vital for businesses economic recovery, if the government don’t apply their own guidance.”
In a letter to Education Secretary Gavin Williamson, Shadow Education Secretary Rebecca Long Bailey and Labour’s Shadow Apprenticeships Minister Toby Perkins have demanded that Government follow their own guidance from existing budgets to avoid “the appalling impact this could have on hundreds of independent apprenticeship providers and hundreds of thousands of apprentices.”
Their letter has asked for the Education Secretary to “immediately confirm that the department will follow the guidance contained within Cabinet Office Procurement…or explain why the department does not consider it to apply in this case?”
The Opposition have warned that they will try to force a Parliamentary debate if the Government continues to refuse to give apprenticeship providers a response to their request.
Gillian Keegan, Apprenticeships and Skills Minister said: “It’s positive to read that the AELP survey shows that 81% of apprentices have been able to continue their studies which shows the great job that the sector is doing at this time. Providers are encouraged to shift their training offer online which supports learners and ensures providers are paid as normal.
“We are aware of the huge challenge in continuing to deliver training at this time which is why, in addition to the clarity provided on furloughing staff, we are publishing details of the targeted provider relief scheme to support businesses and providers in the FE sector.
“This support will help make sure we can continue to deliver the best education and training possible and rebuild our economy after the COVID-19 outbreak. We have informed the sector that this scheme is being developed and we will set out further detail tomorrow about how our new ‘provider relief scheme’ will work.”

Premier League bosses will resist calls for a play-off system to decide which teams qualify for next season's European competitions.
With football still in limbo due to the coronavirus pandemic, UEFA has made it clear qualification for next term's Champions League and Europa League must be decided on "sporting merit".
Europe's governing body has given national associations the green light to decide how this will be done if their domestic competitions cannot be completed, stipulating that "the procedure for selecting clubs should be based on objective, transparent and non-discriminatory principles".

Sheffield United, Wolves and Arsenal would qualify for the Europa League, with Mikel Arteta’s side just edging out their North London rivals Tottenham on the points-per-game system.
Clubs could potentially take issue with this system as it would not take into account the possible permutations once remaining fixtures had been played.
For instance, Tottenham have played Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea twice each, while Arsenal’s game in hand is against Manchester City at the Etihad, and Arteta's side would also be due to face Liverpool before the end of the season.
While Liverpool would qualify for next season's Champions League in first place, it is not yet clear whether they will be confirmed as champions if Premier League action is not resumed.
Usually it would require a vote by 14 of the UK top flight’s 20 clubs to change the current regulations, which stipulate that all 38 games must be played.
And while the league can cite extenuating circumstances in the wake of the coronavirus and has UEFA's blessing to find solutions to end the season, it will still need the clubs backing.
