[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,  a friend just told me that one of the people in his company was fired for taking too many PTO days.  (The company offered unlimited PTO, assuming it would not be abused.)

There are limits.  I'd be more concerned about whether my child will be able to hold a job if she does not understand that sometimes we just have to tolerate a little boredom.

As a private counselor told the son of one of my friends: " Sometimes, you don't do the work because you need to, you do it to get the grade you want."
(My friend's son thought he understood the material and did not need to do the homework.)

Your DD may be accepted to the college she wants, but if she does not go to class, there may be trouble.[/quote]

Yes, what you said is correct, if she were to carry this behavior in college she would not do well. She is a hard worker when she needs to, she did the work and attended classes all through HS.  It is just this year which seems like some kind of joke academically. No way kids can skip this much and still have good grades, but yet, this is the case. I'm mostly worried about repercussions from the school.[/quote]
