Back when I went to school, some parents were taking their kids out of school 2 or 3 times a year, to go on Holiday. Others were taking their kids on holiday for up to month, In both cases, this was during term time, which may have been having severe negative effects on their kids education.
The current system is far from perfect. I think it could be made a lot better by banning holiday and travel companies from upping their prices during holiday time. After all, the travel industry is the only one that raises it's prices according to demand. You don't pay more for a TV, computer or car at certain times of the year, why should you be expected to pay more for air travel or a hotel?

knew i missed something i should have added "as long as its not during exams and it not for more than what was the 10ish days"
i quite agree month long or multiple holidays that would be outside of reasonable
