Teacher's strike

[ilkleymoorbartat]

Am prepared to be flamed for this and told IABU, so just wanted to gage others opinions.

Have 3 kids 8, 5 & 10 months. School teachers on strike next week on Wednesday and we have an inset day on the Monday.

I'm seriously considering taking kids out of school on the Tuesday to have a little break somewhere.

The last year has been horrible, and it seems like a good chance to get a cheap break with little disruption.

Is this a completely terrible idea?

You will only get fined if absence in one period exceeds 4.5 days. So over 9 registrations. Morning register is one session and pm register is a separate session. According to computer, you can register you child at 9am, take them out and then return for pm register and then take them home. It looks like they were in.

I try and do this for my son orthodontist appointments as he has so many that it affects his attendance scores if he arrives at 9:30am because he had 8:30 dentist.
