Mum hits back after she is fined for taking daughter out of school to go on holiday
A mother who was fined for taking her kid on holiday during schoo l term says her child learned more being away than she would have in class. The woman was issued a £60 penalty fine for disrupting her daughter's school lessons but she claims even with the fee included, her trip was nowhere near the amount it costs to jet off abroad during the holidays, the Mirror reports.
While agreeing that school was important she added that there were other things in the world that children need to learn and experience. Her comments sparked an online debate, with other parents sharing their views on the topic. She claims she tried to get permission from the school to go away but that staff failed to reply. Many parents have been fined for taking their children on holiday during term time and admitted they would do it again because it still works out cheaper overall.
