see that the guy who refused to pay the fine he got for taking his daughter out of school in term time to take her to Florida has lost his case anyone else think this practice of hiking prices up at school holiday times should be stopped and CAMC should lead the way by starting the ball rolling before you all jump on me I've not got kids but as I'm single on minimum wage some of the prices for peak season are out of my budget !!

Contracts can easily be altered......so no extra pay, obviously.

Or maybe no time off for kids during term time......either works well.

I suppose the alternative Ian is to leave it to school and parents.

They tried that and it didn't work, hence the law had to step in.

Really? easily altered? Another alternative fact Ian? The last time teachers pay and conditions were changed was the Teacher's Pay and Conditions Act of 1987. At that actually acted in our favour reducing the amount of days we had to teach from 195 to 190 (we still had to be in 195 days). Then there was the Education Act of 2002 which really focused  with schools being able to break away from local authority control setting among other things their own holidays and paying above the national rates if they wanted.

In other words to change teacher's pay and conditions would require an act of parliament, quite time consuming and no political party has ever expressed any desire to do so.

wow, I am sure that Donald Trump will soon be in contact as you show a remarkable ability to post alternative facts, well alternative rubbish really in this case. The current law has not been changed one little bit, the recent ruling merely states than authorities can issue fines for non attendance. Can being the operative word.
