Petition Give teachers a right to two week's leave, with any children, during term time

We want the Government to give teachers a right to take two week's leave during term time, and to be able to take their children out of school for this period, without facing any penalty.

More details

At present most teachers are not able to take time off during term time, and parents can be fined for taking their children at of school. This can make it harder to afford to go on holiday, and mean missing important events.
