Schools are levying more ‘holiday fines’ on parents
More parents are punished for having their children on holiday during the school year will not leave out the details of the BBC suggest.
The 20 largest local authorities in England say the number of fines imposed so far this school year by 10%.
In Liverpool, the number has increased by 50% to 116 in fines fall semester, compared with 77 for the same period last year.
More than 18,000 penalty notices issued in England during the academic year 2007-8. Scotland and Wales do not impose fines.
We let the families of two or three times a year, said Ron Collinson, Liverpool officer participation in the primary.
Mr Collinson said that the loss of education is very worrying for students.
Everything seems to schools at a crucial time when trying to adjust to the new environment, or even take some success all tests. Another factor in the local Liverpool is the struggle between the low cost airlines offering provides the city of John Lennon Airport.
Parents complain that there are far more expensive holidays and flights outside the travel time, and this may reduce the cost of a beautiful dwarf.
In England, parents may be fined 50 euros per child if paid within 28 days rose to 100, or a court appearance later.
But schools are free to agree on a maximum of 10 days from the time unless they believe that there are special reasons.
Some schools are taking the carrot and stick, consent to any request for authorization if a child does not participate for the remainder of the school year is over 95%.
This is the approach to Holly Lodge Girls College in Liverpool. But some parents continue to ignore the rules.
Some parents do not pay the fine and the cost factor of the holiday, says exercise director Julia Tinsley.
But he says parents have good reason to spend their holidays during the year.
We have parents who gave to the police or firefighters who have no choice when we go holiday we sense it. Primary schools tend to adopt a less rigid and more fines are afraid their parents tend to a much closer relationship with the school and in secondary schools.
There are also some doubts about the effectiveness of the measure.
I’m not sure it has impact, said Phil Daniels, the principals at Springwood Heath Primary School in Liverpool.
