I think more of the rights for the child to have a full education, if even a couple of kids in any one classroom go on holiday out of official school holidays it can throw the whole class off course. Teacher having to play catch up with the kids that have been away etc. I do sympathise with the hike in cost of a holiday in peak times, but it won't hurt to find a cheaper form of holiday. Plenty of kids out there whose parents can't afford to go to Disney and the likes but manage to give their kids a decent enough holiday, even if it is camping. Quality time together is the important factor for me. |

Is a week such a problem,when I was at school,not that long ago,often one or more were off ill for a week or more.
Once back, it was easy to catch up and often little is done some weeks anyway. |

Exactly.A week is nothing really aslong as its not an important exam week or something.Sometimes you can be working on the same topic for 2,3,4 weeks.Atleast when i was in school anyway.

If it's that much of a concern then surely the school could provide handouts for what was missed so the parents that insisted on taking them out of school can help catch them up. |

I can't really see parents paying to go to Disney or any other holiday wanting to spend the time doing school catch up though. Our daughter was off school from June until after the Christmas term through ill health but we were lucky enough to be able to keep her up to date with her school work. The school were very helpful. |

My sister had to pay a fine for taking her daughters to Mexico.
So what happened that government debate in Parliament a couple of years ago? Back then they said they were making plans to stop holiday companies and airways hiking up the prices during school holidays.
