    With the Olympics taking place over the summer various agencies have already stated that they will not be approving any leave over the summer. This can be added to the fact that most British destinations (who always charge more during the holidays) will be vastly overpriced to make the maximum profit out of the event, holidays with the children during school holidays will be out of reach to very many families.

    On top of this most affordable holidays are only available during term time and most of the 'special offers' are also timed for those periods. A couple of years ago I complained to MacDonald's about their running of a holiday offer that could only be taken during term time.

    The only outcome from this ruling will be the extra time and expense of chasing up parents who insist on taking family holidays when they can afford to. Of course there will also be the accompanying hoard of statistics showing absenteeism and parents disregarding their children's educations.
