but zac, how is going on holiday an exceptional circumstance?
i dont have any kids, yet my taxes go towards educating other peoples children, and they are ungrateful enough to deny the kids the benefit of my hard work, usually just so it's cheaper for them.
Clerly i do not know this poster, and indeed there may be an exceptional circumstance (dying relative for example) but tbh, i wish the local authorities WOULD prosecute people who cant possibly go on holiday during the 16 short weeks childen are off from school during the year
