😫 in UK they fine the parents but apparently a lot of parents still do it as the fine works out cheaper than the price they pay to go away during school holidays!!
Well, in the root there was a good thought, although now it is muddled.
In the US, there is a whole lot of domestic abuse among children. Many kids 'disappear' regularly. This is supposed to provide a safety net for the kids. So if they don't show up in school, the school district will call the next day, and after 3 calls authorities will come knock at the door. Now, perhaps in case of a real danger that is probably too late, but I appreciate the thought.
Also there are many kids in my daughter's school district who get their meals of the day in the school. We had to keep the kitchen open even during summer, when the school is normally closed, otherwise many of these kids, some of my daughter's friends will go hungry ..
Middle of September, during school year is tough. Let's see.
Bring the family!! Problem solved 🙂
It will be a good educational trip for the girls
Did you know that if you take kids out of school for vacation in the middle of a school year parents can actually go to jail?
True.

Atrocities in schools but punish parents for vacationing. Those are pretty weird priorities.

Child abuse and poverty is a problem everywhere in the world, even in developed nations ☹️
