Quote ="Kosh"I can't speak for all schools, but when I was a governor of a primary school we displayed as much flexibility as possible depending on the exact circumstances of each case and authorised a number of absences every year. [uWe wouldn't have authorised your absence as there are no exceptional circumstances.[/u'"
Comments like that always make me laugh. School teachers / headmasters etc all seem to think they are some kind of omnipotent beings who have the power to run all aspects of your childrens lives.
Ummm... no. You aren't.
My advice to the OP would be take your kids on the 4 day holiday. Ring the school up before you go and say your kids won't be in for a few days as they are ill. If the school get y about it on their return politely tell them they were ill, they are better now and back all ready for school again. Job done.
