Rejected petition Allow term time holidays for children and their families.
With the cost of living, many families are being penalised for taken their children out of school to afford holidays which can only be achieved in term time....financially. Precious time with their families should be allowed
More details
When i grew up, my family could take holidays during term time. It does not impact on a child's education, in fact, precious time with families is often a learning adventure. Families shouldn't be penalised for wanting/needing a holiday during term time....cost of living is preventing children experiencing holidays as its too much financially during school holidays
