[quote=Anonymous]Excused absences are usually not an issue unless it's extremely excessive. It's all the ski vacations, Disney World trips, dance competitions, sleeping in days, extended spring breaks, extended winter breaks, skipping school to avoid an assessment days, and so on that are the problem. If your kid misses school a couple times for illnesses and appointments, no one is going to bother you about it. If your kid sleeps in so often that he has 21 absences in one class, that's a big problem. My daughter said that at least six kids in her general friend group have already said that they'll be sick on the Thursday and Friday before spring break because they're going on vacation early. I know two of those kids and know they are in fact going on vacation early. I don't know about the other four, but I don't doubt my daughter is telling the truth. My kids will be in school unless they are legitimately ill. We don't allow them to miss school unless it's necessary. [/quote]
