Many families can’t afford holidays during the official school breaks, but parents who take their children out in term time face fines. Should the system change, or is it necessary to protect education?

I think the system should change because I have a daughter whose husband is not
00:07
allowed because of his job to take holidays during the summer or Christmas
00:13
and so sometimes they haven't got a choice. I think as long as your child
00:19
has got a good attendance record. I actually took mine to Istanbul when we
00:24
played Galatasaray they were 12 and 10 and I said to the headmaster that well
00:29
you have a form to fill out why can't you take this holiday in term time and I said
00:33
because UEFA won't move the game. Life is hard enough for us all as it is and
00:36
with inflation and stuff things are expensive and unfortunately some parents
00:42
don't have the money to take their kids on holidays during term time so what if
00:47
they miss a week in October. If your child's really clever they're gonna catch
00:51
up but if they're not that bright they're not gonna lose anything anyway.
00:55
They should look at the case individually.
