Rejected petition: Holidays, during school
Rejected on
I would like the government to allow parents/ family to take there children out of school hours for a holiday. At least once a year. So realistically people can go for a week and miss 5 school days, our of a whole year. Going on holiday is also educational for children learning different thing there
This petition is to allow you to take your child out of school, during school hours. I think this should be considered from the gov for at least 1 time a year per family. 1 week out of a whole year. So realistically 5 school days.
I feel like as we all know, school holidays are way more expensive so we all like to try do school time, but then end up with a fine for taking our own children out of school.
I think if everyone signed this agreed only once a year then it could possibly work.
