I feel very strongly about taking my children out of school once a year for a family holiday. I think it’s good as we work hard and it’s good to show kids that family time is important too

Parents should be aloud to take their kids out for at least once a year. I can’t afford to go away in the holidays, so my kids have to go without. It’s sad. Xx

But also feel holiday companies should reduce prices during peak times to help prevent them fines 💕

If they aren’t willing to drop it completely let us have a holiday a year after that be fined, work related holidays shouldn’t be fined and weddings and events also shouldn’t be fined

Government allow homeschooling where parents are not even qualified to teach so if that’s allowed then missing 1/2 weeks per school year is not going to make a difference as some who’s homeschooled

Childrens mental health is more important than worrying about the government making more money just because we are looking out for our children 💕

I believe parents should take children out for 2 weeks per academic year but if parents need to take children out for special circumstances such as work or family occasions then they should without

Scrapped each child should get at least 1 week in term time to take a holiday. Or the government need to cap the travel companies for charging more in holidays dates.

Scrap them.. family time, mental health, general breaks from real life are very beneficial for us all. Not to mention we birthed our children and should have final say over what we can and can’t treat

they're worth having in place but should only be enforced if children have attendance below a certain percentage

If they can scrap the fines, great. If not - whatever most of us include it in the holiday cost. However, putting child neglect on a DBS 100% needs to be scrapped!!!! The implications that this could

Also why are inset days being classed as a school day? 🤔 it has nothing to do with the child’s best interest it’s all about money.

So we are taking our son out of school in September as my partner was diagnosed with a terminal illness and can’t fly till then. We can get a specialist letter confirming this. We will still be fined?

A point you could make is that education is compulsory, however education in a school setting is not. Therefore, one could argue that taking their child out to explore other countries and cultures is

Some parents who just can’t be bothered to get their kids into school on time or on some days I agree but for the purpose of quality family time and holidays it should be scrapped xx
