[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Of course I take vacation. We go on plenty of vacations as a family. However, here's the thing: They're required to be in school a certain number of days. They get built-in vacations that we, as adults, don't get (unless you're a teacher). That means that, outside of those vacation times, they're in school. I would understand your argument if school vacations didn't exist and kids just had a certain number of floating vacation days (like adults do), but [b]that's not how it works[/b]. [/quote] DP. It's how it works in my current family, and in my family of origin. There's even a word in German for days when you're not really sick but you just plain do not want to go to school or work: krank feiern. My sibling and I both have doctoral degrees, so it doesn't seem to have hurt our academic inclinations much.[/quote]
