Change the fines for holidays during term time
Be more lenient on holidays during term time. Parents are very aware of the importance of education but also aware of the importance of making memories and allowing their children to explore the world without having to put themselves in debt
Although education is vital for children which we as parents understand, so is making memories and exploring the world.
Children need to have these moment to support not only their mental health but also educate themselves on different cultures and have experiences. The price of holidays not in term time makes it very very difficult for families to enjoy this time and make memories, even putting themselves in debt to overcome this. A 10 day or two week holiday once a year should be acceptable.
