    Default Fines for School Absences to Rise

    I reckon it'll still be cheaper to take the kids out of school during term time than taking them away during the official holidays: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news...to-rise-50820/

    I can't understand why there should be fines if you take your child out of school during term.

    A fortnight out of school on a family holiday isn't going to hurt anyone's education.

    This is nothing more than a revenue-raising operation.
    Of course it'll fit, you just need a bigger hammer.
