New research has shown that almost four out of ten parents in the UK have taken their children out of school to go on holidays. Cost is the main reason given by parents for sacrificing their childrens education. Parents are to be banned, however, by UKs Education Authority, from taking their children out of school to go during term time. Should local authorities stagger school holidays to enable families with children to take advantage of travel bargains? Or is it wrong for parents to jeopardize their childrens education for the sake of a cheaper holiday? As far as I am concerned, education is more important. Firstly, childrens education must come first. A cheap holiday during the school season shouldnt be the reason to take a child out of school. Some parents are not willing to sacrifice or schedule their lives in terms of their childrens needs. This kind of attitude will influence their children deeply. Its no wonder so many kids are not interested in school and dont take their study seriously. Secondly, school isnt day care center. Its an educational institution that needs every student to follow its rules. Taking a child on holiday when school is in session will disturb the order of the school. Besides, it is disruptive for the child, because he will have to catch up when he returns. All in all, taking children out of school for a cheaper holiday is irresponsible behavior. Those parents would risk being fined financially and morally. Its not only kids that need to grow upa lot of parents need to as well.
