00:00I understand you know everyone deserves a holiday I think you know if you can do

00:03it a week before with the way I see I think if a student has good

00:07attendance outside of that week I think and they take one week off school at the

00:11end of term I don't think it's a big issue. For parents trying to get their

00:14kids to go on holiday obviously you want to travel with your kids and have

00:18that opportunity but equally it can be like a conflict of interest with like

00:22going into school time and I can see why some people do it and ultimately a lot

00:26of the things that are in place nowadays for to stop people going abroad or

00:32taking the kids out to go on holiday I don't think it really does stop their

00:35kids being taken out of school. Oh yes I believe so and also what is most

00:40important is learning for fun. I do understand however I think you know I

00:49don't think it's right I'm you know and I think there are opportunities for kids

00:54to have holidays because you know as is the state of education at the minute is

00:58really poor.
