Doesn’t add to the conversation. It’s like asking, “has anyone flown Delta before” and someone piping in, “no, we always travel by Amtra, tut-tut for flying”. Who gives AF, either answer the question or don’t bother chiming in. |
Sounds like you’re uncomfortable with anyone disagreeing with you. |
LOL. It’s just elementary school. Just tell them your mother died and they’ll give you a week off excused. |
No, just tired of people thinking their 2c matters when they can’t stay on topic. |
To be honest, let’s just call a spade a spade.
Everyone: Whelp, if we want to go to Disney we will have to do it during a hot period or a busy period. You: Let’s come up with a short cut! Everyone: no it’s bad for your kids to miss school. That’s why no one does it. You: It doesn’t matter. Also you: I wonder why my kid got arrested for tax evasion. We never taught them that it’s ok to think the rules don’t apply to them. OP, you’re a crap parent. Grow up. |
The topic is taking your kids out of school for Disney. How was I off topic? |
That’s a totally apt analogy /s ![]() |
We took our kids out during the school year to go toDisney y when my oldest was in K, 2, and 5 (the youngest is 3 years behind).
The oldest still got straight As and ended up in the TPMS magnet, then the Blair magnet. The youngest had straight As and qualified for both middle school magnets, but lost it in the lottery. He expects to get into a HS magnet eventually. Missing a week in elementary school, especially early in the school year, will not make or break your kid. However, this does not apply if they're in middle or high school. |
It’s not about whether they’ll struggle academically. It’s about the message it sends. |
The topic is asking for experiences with taking the kids out during the school year. No one cares that you’re the mommiest mom to ever mom and follow the school calendar to a tee. |
I posted factually. Go after the people calling you all hypocrites and bad parents, rather than me. |
You’re damn right it is. Some people play by the rules. Others are spoiled pricks who don’t. They produce more spoiled pricks who don’t believe the rules apply to them. Easy solution: don’t teach your kids that the rules don’t apply to them. Our daughter wouldn’t want to miss school for Disney. Because she has a proper respect for authority. Send your kids to school. It’s the god damn law. |
And before one of you morons starts talking about respecting authority, it’s Disney World, not protesting police brutality. Grow up. |
OP: do it. Not for a whole week but definitely for up to 3 school days around a weekend. NBD to miss 2-3 days of elementary school for a family trip. Wouldn’t do it in middle or high school and wouldn’t do it during state testing periods or school events like science fair. I’d go either first week of December after thanksgiving crowds have subsided but before Christmas crowds ramp up or end of January (not MLK weekend and not into early February when a lot of schools get a break). But if you’re really set on swimming outdoors early-mid May would also be a good time to go.

The best time to take your kids to Disney world is school vacation o’clock. |
