A lot of schools encourage you to take the children abroad even in term time - they say it advances their education - seeing another country and experiencing a different culture and in some cases learning the basics of another language!!!!!
Well i am taking my child out of school for the week otherwise i couldnt afford to take him on holiday at all..i looked into the same holiday in the half term and was £200 more per person.. this is ok if you can afford it ..Better fit the companies stop ripping us off by putting these prices up in school holidays in the first place..

How about people who work during school holidays!
Are they entitled to a holiday with there family?
If you work offshore and miss the holidays or cant get off at a certain time of year due to nature of the business you are involved in!
Everybody has a reason they are taking there kids out of school and its not always regarding money !
why is it when we have snow most people try and most manage to get to work in some way or another . but the schools are almost certain to be closed are all the teachers off skiing ?
