[quote=Anonymous]I am a "mental health day" parent. I'm also the poster who said that with 3 kids only 2 have ever done it and each one has only done it once. First, my kids are not in public school, so there are no teacher work days, half days, 180 days off a year whatever. They don't get to do it if they have anything due or a test that day. We don't use it as a day to travel, they stay home and regroup, catch up on sleep, and recharge. Sometimes they even catch up on a project for school during part of the day. The point is, they learn never to lie about being sick to get out of school, and I think that's the most important lesson. Missed school means having to catch up on what they've missed. They learn that. [/quote]
