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.

Providing the parents were willing to do this it would probably solve the problem.
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.
