[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We pulled our first grader out for a week in November. Let the teacher know a few weeks ahead in the hopes of getting some work so they whole thing wouldn’t be unexcused, but they basically said “don’t worry about making up the work” and then marked them all as unexcused absences.

Getting work from the teacher and the absence being excused or unexcused have nothing to do with each other. Pulling work ahead of time is a lot of work for a teacher who may not be planned that far in advance (this is actually good practice, planning too far ahead does not take into account children's needs and understanding). Often times when a teacher does pull the work ahead of time it doesn't get done by the student anyways.  As a note, what is done in school is about group work and the in classroom teaching also, it cannot typically be replicated with worksheets.
