[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are your thoughts and your family policy on this? I have a kindergartner and first grader and have to say I am stunned at the number of families that are pulling their kids out for days at a time (in one recent case, 2 weeks at a time) for family vacations. I am completely against pulling my kids out of school for anything other than sickness or a family emergency. Aren't the scheduled breaks the time that you should do family vacation? I feel like it's disrespectful to the teacher and also sends the wrong message to your child.

DH says I'm being a stick in the mud.

Just wanted to see if I'm alone here.[/quote]

DP  Sometimes people do it to travel to Disney world when it isn't as crowded and some do it to visit family who live far away...think China and one or two week vacation isn't long enough.  It isn't what we have done but, I understand it especially when you want your kids to know your family, language and culture.  Now you know you won't be so stunned..[/quote]
