Pupil strike : half day strike for our Children Petition: Signature List Feed http://gopetition.com/signatures/pupil-strike-half-day-strike-for-our-children.html Online petition signatures en-us Wed, 22 Apr 2026 08:55 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Mrs Rebekah Butler-Dodd-Thomson [Signature #22] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/17136922?utm_medium=rss This is disgusting as parents we have to go through loops to get our children out of school in term time with the schools permission. As schools they close the school as amd when they like for striking, voting, inset days, etc without even considering finding cover for the children so that they dont miss out or even taking into consideration alternate child care arrangement. I work full time and my children dont go to a private school club or holiday club, so for me when the schools decide to shut i have to rely on family or loose a days pay if no one can help me,so what do i and other working parents get in return-NOTHING. But we can land ourselves with a fine or jail sentence if we take our children out of school without permission

This is an important part of children growing up and making sense of who they are. Holidays also help children experience different cultures, languages, currencies and places. I agree children need to be in school but if they have good attendance 10 days holiday will broaden their knowledge and give families valuable time together.

My husband also works within the public sector and would not be allowed time off in certain holiday periods.
When would my children get a holiday with their parents?
