[quote=Anonymous]A kid in my son's 1st grade class missed a week for a trip to Disney. The child definitely got behind because they were doing projects during that particular week. The project was using the computers/software at school and couldn't be made up at home due to the SW issue. Honestly, I don't think it is right at any age, yet I see it frequently. As OP has asked, I have also wondered when parents begin to draw lines. I pulled my son out for 2 1/2 days last year for the final Discovery space shuttle launch. He was a real space program fan - and it was an opportunity to witness history. His teacher was fine with the trip thanks to the historic aspect (and her own envy!), even though it was ultimately an unexcused absence. Also, my child DID get behind in that 2 1/2 days (as he will also when he's sick with strep and out for 3 days). [/quote]
