Fair enough imo, what’s a kid going to remember, 10 days of school where they spent most their time pissing about, or a family holiday.
I don’t know the ins and outs, but I think there should be a threshold of like 10 days a year where it’s okay, as long as the kid has good attendance besides that and it’s not around exam time.
It’s punching down from the government as it’s a working class issue. Middle class can afford the peak holiday rates, poorer families can’t.
