I don’t care what the school says – I’ll take my kids to Ibiza in term time if I want to

A report published this week found there has been a “radical shift” in parents’ attitudes to children’s school attendance, with term-time holidays “now entirely socially acceptable across all socioeconomic groups”. As mother to three children, ages 12, 10 and six, I wasn’t at all surprised. Instead, I felt validated to discover that I’m not the only one who lets their children sporadically bunk off.
