    Kids between the ages of 3-10 aren't going to have their education ruined by skiving off for a day out, so I didn't feel too guilty, I don't take mine on holiday in term time!

    Sadly the new school holidays have put an end to the odd days off. One parent at my son's school got a £120 fine for starting a weekend a day early (£60 per parent). They did try to tell a fib that the child was ill.. but there son was quick to tell all his friends and teachers about the trip.

    Yes, that's the trouble when trying to get kids to lie! We were quite upfront about our days out, the teachers were fine and no-one made any fuss at all. But that was 10 years ago.
