If you have (in the UK) 30 children being taken out of school at various time for holidays, the it turns into a nightmare of catching up.

  So? They pass the relevant tests, they move up. They fail, they get held back. Surely there is a middle ground between kid missing half the school year and a week of vacation.

    It isn't the intact families that make effort to spend time together that struggle in school frankly. My friends kids are straight A students they still make threats that they are going to take him to court.

    No, it's the expectation on the teacher to provide material for 30 children to catch up, for a week each. It's a nightmare for the teacher, who then has less time left for the children who didn't go on holiday to progress.
