...to be so pissed off that the twatting Rooney's can take kids out of school for hols?

[ScouseBird8364]

Is this fair? I mean, why should preferential treatment be given to this pair when us minions aren't allowed to take our children on holiday in school time?

Yes, what is this rantbased on?

And yes, life isn't fair. Hth.

What a ridiculously pointless thread!

Kai doesn't start school until September.

The rules only apply to those of us with DC in state schools, so anyone with DC in independent school can take their DC out.

Funny how the twatting Gerrards were okay to take their DC out though, OP!

Any one can take their child out of school it's mearly a case of paying the fine

My sister took her kids out of school for two days and sent in £200 it was much cheaper than the £600 she would have paid to centre parts for booking during the holidays

But most people don't want to pay the fine even though it's miles cheaper than the cost of a school hoilday brake and they don't want to book during the holidays

[pay the fine it's cheaper]

And even if they were of school age I'm fairly certain they could afford the fine!

Why on earth would this even concern you?

Oh and you can "take your children on holiday", just phone them in sick.

I'm glad my youngest is 16.

So could you if your children were not of compulsory education age and registered in a state school

Um what about Steven Gerrard taking his kids away? Do you feel the same about that?

Technically, anybody can take their kids out if they are willing to pay the fine.

No, I don't care who takes their kids out of school, Floisme, I just don't see why the Rooneys are getting the wrath from the OP when the Gerrards did the same.

I've just looked at the sidebar of shame and it looks, to me, like the Rooneys are on holiday without the kids!

Whoops bet you feel silly now!

And dds best friend, she's been gone a week and school doesn't finish and till fri

I think their eldest is only 4! As for the Gerrards I presume their dds go to private school and the rules are probably different?

are you coming back OP?

I just came back from holiday. Place was full of school age kids and hotel was fully booked.

I completely agree with you fairycaravan - you beat me to it, that's all!

Agreed their eldest isn't of school age yet. I distinctly remember him
Being born after my DD and she starts school in Sept.
I imagine if this occurs next yes its probably because they will privately educate him & the holidays are longer etc .
What ever their choice what's it to do with anyone else???

Please give me a shout if the op comes back. I want to get back to the football.

OP I think you've just given us a masterclass in how not to do an AIBU. Well done.

Hahahaha!

Celebs tend to use independent schools.

Independent schools have already broken up for the summer.

Oh, and who cares?

Oh dear !

How do people find out this kind of shit?

Move to Wales, we don't get fined yet.
