Putting aside the argument of how much someone really needs an annual holiday one way round it would be for schools to try and meet the parents halfway. They know some parents are going to do it. A couple of the schools near me did it where they made the October half term two weeks instead of one which allowed parents to book a holiday. Apparently.They didn't have many takers as you need to generally fly further away to go somewhere hot at that time of year and it ruled the uk.out to a lot of people due to the weather. When I was a young girl my Mother said to me.. You listen here kid you're CPFC

If your kid is smart it probably has no impact and they will easily catch up. If they're dumb c*** kids then let's face it school is wasted on them "One Nation Under God, has turned into One Nation Under the Influence of One Drug" [Link]

Originally posted by Forest Hillbilly Then I want a tax refund for all the term-time holidays taken from my taxation Too right if you choose a State school you should play by the State's rules. If you don't play by the rules, I would not fine but throw them out of the system, or make them pay which have heard is up to circa £8,500 a year for a State school. It is our money they are wasting.

Originally posted by grumpymort Having a few weeks off here or there is no big deal. If a student has attendance level high enough and are having no trouble at school I see no problem. What people forget is the terms andother breaks schools have are more of an issue just look at them they can go back for week and half then be off again they need to restructure it all. The other thing is if you work out the hours spent at school to studying they really do not need all that time unless you have trouble with learning it's like college they make you do all that time full time for 1 year yet you could complete that same course at home in 2-3months. School education is not everything a lot of what is learnt studying is not even used in real world so many youngsters that got top grades yet they are useless in work place Good post. Sorry Forrest but a lot of what you say is.. Hogwash! You're looking at it from a blinkered teacher point of view and had you had kids I imagine you'd be a bit more sympathetic. School Ski trips with half the kids left behind, strikes, inset days - let's not paint this picture of a utopian school where the teachers have set up these fabulous learning 'teams' and require all the kids there to save the projects from failure. As Grumpy says the whole system needs looking at. You have businesses with parents all vying to take time off in the same periods, holiday companies knowing when they can double their prices (and these days it isn't the big luxury it once was). I'd allow each kid 5-7 days holiday a year based on them having attended over 95% of the time and to be approved by the Head. If it clashes with a major learning event it can be rejected. As soon as attendance drops below a certain % then bring out the fines. It's pretty obvious which parents take the piss and which ones have encouraged good attendance. I don't buy into the "your kids will learn more on a week away in the Costa Del Sol" but I do believe the whole situation can be made more flexible. Most major businesses cope with giving their staff 4 weeks holiday - even those working in teams. It would not be the end of the world for a kid to miss a week off. Make it more flexible, have a decent amount of criteria and have a bit of sense on both sides. You fed me, you bred me, I'll remember your name.
