For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.sunnie it is only illegal when you don't ask permission to take your children on holiday in school term
I arranged my holidays to co-inside when my children were off school but some people nowadays are unable to do that
and since when was anything free in this country just shortly you will be taxed on the air that you breath
thought it was always illegal to do this, however, if it wasn't, it about time, and finally, this goverment has brought out a law that would benefit the future of this country, if they enforce it.
Why should I pay more than twice as much on school holidays? I have 3 children.It is far too expensive. I do ask permission and it is granted because my children are in the top set in all subjects. Travel is an experience. Why should i wait till they have all grown up to have a holiday when it is suitable.
You probably choose the best deals. Maybe it should be extended to certain workforce. They should only be allowed out when the government decides. Benefit the future of this country? what a load of crap!
Sunnie, why do you expect each of your children�s teachers to re-schedule their work to fit around the children�s holidays? If every family did the same as you, how would the school cope? What would you say if the teachers did the same? Teachers coming and going as they pleased, different locums, different standards, would you be happy? If the holiday firms charge extra outwith Term time then yir gripe is wi them and not the Government.
Quite right sunnie, learning is NOT confined to the classroom and frankly with the standard of eduaction in some schools, the kids would benefit from having everyday off and sitting in the local pub!
All joking apart, I for one, who granted is so disenchanted with the Schools system that I educate our kids at home, think that holidays provide the perfect scenario for learning and we have travelled all over the place with our kids, ( the older ones all have excellent careers so it clearly hasn't hurt them).
There is too much interferring with the individuality of people, with the Govt trying to turn us into sheep like morons, and a holiday by and large does the whole family good. The Govt should be more concerned about the breakdown in decent relationships between parents and children because of LACK of quality time together rather than making that worse by interferring in people's annual holidays.
How would a large company cope? Do you really think that kids would all go at once? Teachers give them homework so they can catch up. I know teachers who love thier jobs because they can have lots of time off. Companies do not offer that (3-5 weeks max) Our school have had so many teachers, locums come and go all the time, what is the difference?. A large comprehesive where both my kids have got extremely high grades = As. We have always had time off during school term when they were younger with permission. Because the MAIN issue is HOW EXPENSIVE it is . You go on holiday and then pay more than double? OUTRAGEOUS. The whole holiday industry are fleecing parents outright and something should be done about that. It is no good patronising parents. Holidays are important and educational to the FAMILY - if you have one..
Actually, I think you are missing the point of what a criminal is - someone who breaks the law.
Not going to school so that you can afford a cheap holiday is plain and simple trauncy (and they just put a mother in prison for that).
Stop being so ruddy selfish - you chose to have children, you knew what you were getting into. Either take your kids out of the school system and teach them at home, or comply with the law.
How much sympathy would you have if I said that I am an extremely good driver and should therefore be able to drive my car (which has better brakes etc) far faster than most other people. I should be able to drive at 50mph in a 30 zone because I am a good driver (equating your top of class), and because I am in a hurry and my time is more important than yours!
Good, He should keep you away from kids.
Besides, towards the end of school term they hardly do anything - and that is a fact. THis is a good time for holidays (because it is hugely cheaper) We never take them out during exam time. We do ask for permission and are allowed 10 days. But some people think that that is'nt even right. Madness - . THe holiday industry is rolling in money. They do not need to charge such a HUGE amount extra.
