    I have always informed the school on the occasions i took my children out within term time and i have never been fined, jailed or lost their place on a register. Its all down to common sense and negoiation with the relevant people it hasn't let me or my kids down so far

    Same in our case. Obviously, no-one on here would just suddenly take the child off without informing school
    I try not to get too stressed out on the forum. I won't argue, i'll just leave a thread if you don't like what I say. :)

    Perhaps, if you don't want to actually debate in a proper manner, a forum is not the place for you?....just a thought.;)

    NO, we are asking you to prove, with firm evidence, that what you said was true, and you have yet to do that
