A cheap holiday is not a human right – or a valid reason for missing school. Me for @Telegraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/secondaryeducation/11798587/A-cheap-holiday-is-not-a-human-right-or-a-valid-reason-for-missing-school.html …
@cascriven and you can't go away for five days at a time instead? Just asking...

@JuliaHB1 5 days when? Not in July or August - he travels with team so means he's physically away. -
@cascriven that's what I'm asking! Maybe he needs to think about getting a different job if you all want more time together? Just a thought. -
@JuliaHB1 my children are 4 & 1 - I don't think 5 days missed schooling is worth my husband having a career change! -
@cascriven yes, but they will get older and missing a week's school every year is not acceptable. It is also illegal. -
@JuliaHB1 it's within the tolerance of attendance at our primary school too. I haven't made this decision lightly to get a cheap week of sun -
@cascriven I understand! But you shouldn't have to be put in this position! -
@JuliaHB1 well I suppose I should have married a different man to start with then
-
@cascriven oh, well, we should ALL have married better! I tell my hubby that all the time...! Good luck to you x - 2 more replies

@JuliaHB1 it's not driven by money - although it's obviously a real issue for many. - End of conversation

@JuliaHB1 my eldest starts school this September so we have already raised this with school as we want to be open about it -
@cascriven that sounds sensible. Really not sure why your hubby's employer can't be more reasonable about holidays though. -
@JuliaHB1 because football work is driven by the football season. It would be like Cadburys staff having Easter as leave...
