I think it is important to identify the villain of the piece here and recognise that 71 per cent of teachers backed parents in opposing this unpopular regulation on term-time holiday fines.
On the separate issue of striking teachers, I believe that every individual in a fair and free democracy should have the right to withdraw their labour. I can fully understand why some parents would be frustrated/annoyed if the school their children attended closed due to industrial action. However, as with all unions, there are legal procedures which must be adhered to and parents are given ample prior warning of the strike date(s).
I agree that it's wrong for holiday companies to profiteer during school holidays but it p*sses me off when selfish parents take their kids on holiday and claim its for the child. RUBBISH!
Kids don't care where they are just as long as there's a beach/park/pool or other kids to play with.
The parents wanted to go to Spain so that's what they did.
I have no sympathy what-so-ever in that respect.
I travel a lot and every time I hear a small child crying on the plane I want to punch the parent in the face for subjecting the poor little sod to the excruciating pain of air travel so that they can get a sun tan.
My Daughter goes to Helston School where they have A Block,B Block and C Block and for those parents who decided to sign the paperwork and subject their children to this....thumbprint scanning to get your lunch . Does this sound like an educational establishment or something else ???
I can't have kids Ken........they'd get I the way of my biking, surfing, snowboarding, mountain biking and traveling! Besides I'm far too selfish.
On a serious note it does annoy me when people who have made a conscious decision to have a family then moan about the effects it has on their lives.
Also when they don't control the Little darlings in public. Especially restaurants.
This isnt right at all! Its all about conditioning and control from a young age, so that it becomes the norm when they grow up.
