Stop fining/punishing parents for taking THEIR children out of school.

Honour previous petition before general election that had collected over 250,000 signatures but due to election did not get debated in parliament. Don’t punish families, work with families. Stop all companies in the UK and abroad hiking prices during school holidays by at least 200% some 400%.

Background
Holidays are educational regardless of the holiday type you go on, they improve a child’s social skills, experience the real world. Time with family is of most importance. I enjoyed family holidays growing up every year during term time, I passed exams to a very satisfactory level, I work full time, I run a family and a home. I am not a failure.
