Here we go again.

The Education Secretary apparently intends to ban parents taking their children on holiday during term time. We've been here before (see post dated 28/8/09) and sadly nothing seems to have changed.  Those selling holidays still double or treble their prices in school holiday weeks with apparent impunity.  And what about parents who have to take their holiday allowance when it suits their employer - which may well be during term time?  Once again it seems that the official mind sees children existing for the benefit of schools rather than the other way round.
