Fines are not the real price of taking children out of school
SIR – Interesting to see that in a recent T&A Daily Poll (December 19), 73 per cent considered it acceptable for parents to take children out of school for holidays in term time.
Perhaps this attitude is just one of the reasons why our schools continue to languish at the bottom end of published league tables?
