[quote=Anonymous]DS is a freshman (so first year doing high school band) and there is an in-school event that the school band is supposed to perform in during the school day. Apparently this is not a full-school event because my son would have to miss a class for the band event. That class is extremely difficult and missing just one class can be hard to recover from. My son told me he is planning to skip the band event and will instead go to class. I won't be there so there is really nothing I can do to stop him from making his own decision about this. And given all the emails I get from school about the importance of kids not missing school, I kind of agree with my son - why is the band making him miss an important class? Then again, my son did make a commitment to the band (although I do not recall that he was told that he would have to miss classes for band events). I am not sure what the question is since I am not the decision maker here. Just curious if others have dealt with this, I guess. [/quote]
