[quote=Anonymous]If it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, pull your kid for the trips. If you can avoid it, don’t have long, avoidable absences in consecutive months. The disruption to routines alone can leave kids cranky and less able to focus in class. A child can miss some math, spelling, and vocabulary building blocks when out that long. It’s also hard to catch up on science, art, or writing projects that start during the absence. You’d also be pulling your kid out of school at a time when respiratory viruses are common. You could experience the double whammy of missing school for vacation and then missing it again to recover from post-vacation illness.[/quote]
