[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is hard to take time off in MS. Missing a couple days will mean lots of makeup assignments and tests. It's stressful for kids who are already stressed. Is your older DC in 7th grade currently? Have they missed school and had to make up the missed work? You can plan your family vacation around the entire family instead of just the adults. [/quote] That only matters for classes that will be on the HS transcript, realistically math and language. 3 days absence with block scheduling means a maximum of two classes missed- they should be able to make up two days of homework in two classes. For history, english, science, there is no reason to make anything up [/quote] That's a lot of mixed messages for your kid. My kid asked for us not to do that to him anymore after the last trip, and we listened. YMMV[/quote]
