Taking children out of school during term time is always a hotly debated issue, and now one mother believes she's come up with the perfect solution to the problem.
A British Mumsnet user took to the parenting forum to explain her theory that the long break should be cancelled altogether, in favour of opening schools 52 weeks a year like any other workplace.
She suggested that teachers and students could have a four-week holiday allowance per year, allowing both parties to have time off whenever they wanted, reports Daily Mail.
And she argued it would allow teaching to take place at a more "realistic page", adding: "Am I missing why this isn't a genius idea?"
