Rejected petition Reform school holidays and stop the injustice of fines for parents

More details

This petition is to stop the injustice which sees hard working parents being fined for taking their children on a term time holiday. There is no evidence that a family holiday disrupts the education if a child. We propose the ancient practice of school holidays 6 weeks is reformed to fit in with the modern working families where both parents work.
