[quote=Anonymous]Yes. I'm a teacher. My older DD had 3 absences excused for educational travel. One each level (ES, MS, and HS). This was true educational trips though, not a visit to Disney that we claimed would teach CA geography. I have many middle school students who do family travel during the year. My deal is that I give a 4 page graphic organizer on the geography and culture of region they visit. It is easy to fill out with open-ended questions, but usually not things can be googled. Students can complete that OR the work they missed. 9 of 10 students come back with packet undone. The excuse is always that they were at the amusement park, resort pool, or cousins' lake house all the time so they never saw anything else.[/quote]
