[quote=Anonymous]As a former kindergarten teacher, I was always completely fine with family vacations, I always asked them to bring back something interesting to share. But then again, I'm a fan of the 'unschooling' approach and think there is so much a kid can experience by exploring their world (even in Disney World) that they just don't get from being in a classroom. But I think it does depend on the school and the kid. I remember being aware of when it became necessary not to miss something in school, but I feel like that wasn't until high school, atleast for me. My cousins ages 6-18 miss 5+ days every year for family trips, athletic events, dance competitions, and they go to a small private school where its encouraged and the teachers are able to 'catch' them up when they get back, which is easier with class sizes of 10-12 kids than it would be in larger schools.[/quote]
