Is there a school holiday at the moment?
The site we are on had loads of kids on site late yesterday and many of them were still here this morning. Their parents didn't pack up until well after 9am.
Also, as we left site at around 10am there were still lots of school age kids knocking about on site.
Is there an extra school holiday or do a lot of parents really not care about their kids' education?

No school holidays in our area. I don't think it is going to be that easy for parents to take their children out of school during term time despite the recent ruling. I have a feeling that the law will be 'tweeked'.
Write your comments here...If parents start to take their kids out of school during term time, could they not keep the schools open for a few weeks during the official shoolchildren's holidays so that those who missed out on some lessoms by being absent during term time, could catch up on missed subjects.

Who is going to staff these extra days, why should school staff have to give up their hols , which they pay premium prices for,to accomodate those who want them cheaper. Which is more important a few years of exotic holidays or wait until children are older and ensure their education. We had cheap camping holidays until our children left school and then their travelling experiences began.they have since been to Australia (backpacking) , America, Carribean and most of europe.
