What the petition asks
As a teacher, with a young family, i feel discriminated against and robbed.
Due to my choice of career, it seems that my family have to miss out on the opportunity to travel and experience other cultures due to the ridiculously inflated prices during school holidays as we simply cannot afford it.

Stop travel companies charging inflated prices during the school holidays or give those who work in education discounts towards this or give teachers an additional week off at the heads discretion so we can avoid these inflated prices like many other families who simply say the fines are still far less than the cost to travel and holiday abroad in school holidays.
