German police have been known to actively check airports for families taking unauthorised school-time holidays, communicating with schools to assess whether absence has been cleared.

germans cannot help but be cops about absolutely everything

(Netherlands) School absenteeism can be fined at €100 euros per day up to a maximum of €600 euros per family for one week and €900 for two weeks.

One day is a bit steep but at least they give you a discount if you do the whole two weeks in Phuket trip

(UK) Milder consequences of taking your child on holiday during school time without the school’s permission include being issued a parenting order by the court. This means you have to go to parenting classes. You may also be issued with an education supervision order or a school attendance order.

"Your attempt at fun has been noted. Please proceed to parental reeducation camp

eu-cool

At least norway and sweden seem somewhat chill

Oh man let me tell you a story, when i was a kid i grew up and went to school in Turkey. But it was still advantageous to provide a secondary address in germany because of some legal stuff, which my parents did.

Noting that us kids weren't registered in any school, they sent fucking CPS to this secondary address with police in tow scaring the bejeesus out of the friend who was living at that address and forwarding letters sent there.

I dont know what exactly they were planning, like take us to a home or just scare those "religious nuts" straight. But we were safe and sound in Turkey lmao. Sent them a mail reminding them what a primary and a secondary address is, dumbass bureaucrats.

Anyway we had to go to german school during summerbreak that year because we had booked our plane tickets already and it was still school there. Which didn't suck, but I rather wouldn't have.

parenting classes

I'd bet these suck balls too, and don't achieve what they want to achieve. It'll probably be staffed by the worst people they can hire to scold said parents.
