We were thinking of taking the kids on holiday this year but after looking the prices for the summer holidays I am thinking oh dear, it seems they have added a few 0′s on the end of their prices.

Looking at the week before or the week after the school term times it seems a weeks holiday is half the cost to when they are not at school.

Would it be wrong to keep them off school a week to take them on holiday? I mean they would only really be missing 5 days? They could have an illness that lasted 5 days? Or would you ask permission from the school?

I do know of a friend who asked the school permission and was declined and told she could be fined if she did this.

What do you think? Is it wrong to keep the kids off school to go on holiday? Leave me a comment to let me know your views.
