Fines for holidays in term-time
Posted by rossgarvey662402008
I have just read that the government are going to set new laws to stop parents taking their children out of school during term time and give heavy fines for those that do.
Well instead of putting this all on the parents they should look at making the holiday companies stop the exploitation of parents by putting up the cost of holidays to profiteer from these rules.
If they put both of these together in a joined up way they would get a lot of accolades from parents.
One final word if they want to get tough on truants don't get tough on the 95% of honest families who play by the rules.
