[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people book travel first and then think about the consequences?

PreK 3 is considered school - not daycare.

Plan accordingly. [/quote]

wow! I am glad I grew up in a different time (sad for my kids though). My parents regularly took us on vacation during the winter - teachers gave us work to do, never fell behind and I can't imagine how much "learning" is missed in a two week absence at the p3k level  :roll: [/quote]

DC is different and one of the best indictators of student success is consistent attendance. You may be pulling your kid for something edifying -- and you would make sure your kid would do the homework. But not everyone in the city will. DCPS can't craft different rules for each kid and family.

Consider also that many if not most PK3 programs in DC have wait lists. Your family can schedule vacations during school breaks like everyone else, or you can give up your seat to a family who would be happy to send their children to school consistently and respect the school year calendar.
