Actually I pull them out because missing a week of school is no longer an issue. Did the same in middle school too. Way too easy to get A's so why not take some vacations during less expensive times.

So rather than switching them to a better school, you’re taking advantage to go on cheaper vacations.

But isn’t the curriculum and grading scale essentially the same across MCPS schools? Most of us cannot afford private, even if we took no vacations ever.

But some of you can, and you talk about how you would never switch. There’s a whole thread about it right now.

Can't switch to private! We gotta save money for a week at Disney.

Has any parent said that they expect the teacher to do something to accommodate their child? I'm referring to the parents who take their kids on trips during school. I an NOT referring to what a principal might expect.

Does a week at Disney cost $40,000? Asking for a friend.

Yes. Several in this thread have done so.

First of all, there are quality private schools that are cheaper than that.

Second, a week at Disney could cost $10K. It’s not unreasonable to figure that if you cut down on expensive vacations, eating out, and other discretionary spending, you could find the money for a decent private school.

But it’s all about priorities.

You need 40. But, if you have 40 and you spend 10 at Disney, you no longer have 40. I learned that in public school.

Is this like where you could afford a down payment on a house, and a mortgage, if only you cut down on avocado toast at brunch?

Yes, because a $10 avocado toast is totally the same as a $10K vacation to a notoriously expensive place.

Again, avocado toast is not relevant to this conversation.

how far behind does an elementary school student become if they take a few days off school? I can't imagine it impacts them in the long term, and would be easy to make up either by getting the work before-hand and doing some work while you're on vacation, or making it up when you get back.

What this rude PP meant to say was, “you’re right, no loss of learning, some teachers just have their underwear in a bunch bc they can’t travel when they want”.

No. You missed the part where teachers have said repeatedly that they resent having to accommodate your kid due to unexcused absences.
