As a parent I’m not opposed to this. My child gets 6/7/8 weeks off and it’s going to be an absolute nightmare to sort out childcare when her youngest brother is also at school (currently my partner is off work on the days I work so it’s not an issue).
Both sets of grandparents work and we’re not really in a position to pay for childcare or any of those holiday clubs. Not to mention that after 4 weeks the kids are bored out of their minds.
Much prefer the shorter and longer half term breaks.

I work in hospitality on the continent and longer, more spread-out half term holidays would be a fucking godsend for all concerned
Worst time of the year, especially if your clients are Brits
