Rejected petition Allow hardworking parents to take their children out of school for a holiday

For county councils and LEA's to allow parents to take their children out of school for at least 5 days within the school year, to be taken all at once or separately. This would remove the threat of fines, allow families to save a lot of money and give all a chance to show their children the world.
