That's not technically true, nor what the articles you posted say. These are guidelines given to Schools, and Head Teachers make the decision.
One rule for them......

Also, with Private Schools, they are much more able to accommodate individual teaching plans with students. That's presumably part of what you are paying for?
They are different systems, and as such what really is the problem?

Technically!!!
I repeat.
State school
They both denied committing an offence under Section 44 of the Education 1996 and appeared separately at Nuneaton Magistrates' Court.
The mother was given a twelve month conditional discharge. The father, who changed his plea to guilty, was given a ten month conditional discharge.
They were also ordered to pay £800 towards prosecution costs.
Private school
Families with children in the private education sector are not liable for fines if they take their children out of school during term time for holidays unlike those with children in state schools.

You have just pointed out what this thread is about, the problem is inequality, they are different systems, different rules, and yes not only do you get more freedom if you pay for it, you also find yourself exempt from prosecution, because you can afford it, thank you for acknowledging that :35:

Of course they make it impossible for people to home school their kids. Everybody has to be plugged into their twisted system and if you step out of it you get hammered. They want us all on benefits aswell, dependent and feckless. Then when you are too screwed up to look after your damn kid the same people will come and take it off you.
People need to stop bowing down. You can take your kids on holiday any time you damn well want.

If this is the one I read yesterday, they were authorised for two weeks, but not for the extra week and half.
Yup, same one I was close.
Basically the school said a week off in term time was appropriate for a holiday, not three, if I've understood it.

Are you saying people who have more money shouldn't try and get the best for their kids?
I've known parents give up much of their own financial freedom just to ensure their kids get the best they can provide.
Surely that is the overriding instinct of most parents?
Why you get so angry about it is beyond me, especially as it is not as black and white as you make out.

should have just paid the £240 fine.
They'd have been £560 odd up and could have wasted the teachers time again when they fancied another holiday.
I know 'female first' is normally the definitive source for legal opinion but are parents with kids at private schools really exempt from legal action if they fail to regularly attend ?
