Am so fed up with this term time holiday dad insisting his kid has a great attendance record. She misses FOUR WEEKS of school every year!

apologies. A few drinks this evening. :) My point stands though. If she maintains her school performance, then what is the harm?
-
it harms her attitude towards authority & it harms other kids in her class who have to wait while she is taught what she missed.
-
i doubt this will be make or break in attitude towards authority, and it is her responsibility to catch up, not the others to wait
-
at least this was how it worked for me.
-
not if every child's parents take the same view and a handful of kids are away every week of term.
-
perhaps, but is that likely?
-
so it's ok for one parent to break the rules and everyone else keep them to make sure the school functions? Seems fair...
-
just my opinion though, and I'm not fortunate enough to have children yet :)
