We don't take ours out during term time as I work in a school, but didn't before that either as I felt that it was important to follow the rules of the school, but that is just our choice - our kids also wouldn't suffer academically by missing a week or two as they are all on gifted and talented.
I have no issue with those who choose to take term time holidays, as long as they then don't complain about having to face the consequences, whatever they maybe. I think the main issues surround exam times and those who regularly take holidays/extended breaks during term, as this can have an impact on the not only that child but also the others in the class.
Personally though, I think the cost argument falls short if you are going every year, as you could just do what we do and save up for longer to be able to afford to go. However, those who have no choice about when their annual leave is, obviously, should have concessions made.
But as you have all said, you are the parents, it is your choice, and whatever that is, I hope you all have amazing holidays
