00:00I can see the benefit of taking children out of school and disagree with the fines.
00:06There are certain parents that can't take holidays when it's school holidays.
00:11So I think people should be allowed to have two weeks out of the term away in the summer.
00:16I'm one of those guilty people who actually took my children out of school for a holiday in Florida.
00:22Now I'm going back a long time now, but actually by moving the cursor on my laptop,
00:28I've probably saved around about £2,000.
00:31So although my children are grown up now, I've got sympathy with people who do it.
00:35I didn't take my son out of school for his holidays,
00:38but I would now with the current climate and the way things are.
00:42And yeah, everything's expensive, so people do need a holiday
00:45and they want to have adventures with their children, so it should be allowed.
00:48We would never have taken them out at crucial times of their education,
00:51such as when they take SATs, GCSEs, A-levels, etc.
00:55It was always at a time when they were young and it didn't have that much impact.
