Depends. We went into Samokov last year, wandered around the town and went to a restaurant there - spoke Bulgarian to the shopkeepers etc.
At the end of day though I will take my kids where I want when I want regardless of the schools wanting to keep their attendance stats up. So there ;-)

Not when they are five they don't.
Let the kid go sking, both my granchildren went out of school last year and they are five and severn, not a problem unless they have had problems keeping up previously at school.
Anyway this thread is suposed to be about a little lad just starting out in the greatest outdoor pusuit known to man (except watching United ) not if he may have had a couple of days off school, as I see it he will have learnt loads of stuff that will be usefull in that week, ...

well that's your opinion which your entitled to, but I don't remember any rules at the start of the thread regarding what could and could not and what should and should not be commented upon on the thread and the opinions of others.
Quite right Tom, and what a cracking little vid, kids that age do seem to either love it or hate it, fair to say this was a young lad who loved it!!!. Well done Angus.
Jez, hope you have lots of money as he will probably want to ski a lot more.
Hibs, sorry to disagree with you but i personally am sick to death of the nanny state telling us whats good for us, our children and our health, I am sure Jez is able to judge whether 5 days off school wil destroy his childs future!!!!!!

Do you think I am wrong to take my kids out of school to go skiing?
Do you think that actually all I am interested in is saving money and doing what suits me over and above what is in the best interests of my kids? All my talk of alternative education is just a veneer to hide what is ultimately selfishness on my part?
Or... did you just make a tongue in cheek remark and then have a bit of fun ...
This is getting interesting... :-)

You've made several comments but I am not sure why.
Only asking in the spirit of friendly debate like...
