Obviously Waterstones don't like teachers You cannot take this holiday in any school holidays. Oh well, thank you any way.

Probably more that, like most parents, they hate the hike in prices during school holidays - the reason we've only had two foreign holidays in 20 years :-(

Totally agree. Its no wonder that parents do take their children out of school during term time. Wish the government would get it sorted.

I've noticed it's OK for them to call a staff meeting or a teacher training day in term time though and give the children the day off.

Yep, and it causes a problem for lots of people, who have to arrange for people to look after their children as they are at work. It is the headteachers who arrange them and some of them are very random. Don't know why they can't just link them all to haolidays as they are what they children are entitled to holidaywise.
