Some holiday prices increase by 4 times just because it's the school holidays. No surprise people would rather go to court - cheaper!

simple laws of supply and demand. Actually they just CUT their prices the rest of the time.

In an ideal world, yes. But there is an element of profiteering from a captive market. Penalties to parents makes gov a bit complicit .

going away on holiday isn't a human right

Didn't say it was, but it can be beneficial for kids and penalising/preventing kids from going doesn't seem particularly necessary to me.

It was never an issue when I was at school, and it did me no harm whatsoever. The impact of missing a week of school is zero, long term.
