Parents who took their daughter out of school for 5 days, to take her on their honeymoon to New York, said they have no regrets and are refusing to pay the £60 penalty notice that the school are demanding. The school say they were not given prior notice of the holiday, but the parents cite exceptional circumstances. Do you think the parents should or should not have to pay the fine?
