[quote=Anonymous]Around here, it is pretty typical for a swimmer to miss a Friday in December, a Friday in March, and up to a week in March/April for a big travel meet. I have teens who have done this since your child’s age and it’s fine. Especially in elementary school. Communicate and make up the work. I am one who has always told the truth to school, sometimes this was more trouble than it was worth, but it is the example I believe in setting. By the time it was middle school, I worked with the principal for an excused absence and the kids worked with their teachers to make up work, it’s a good learning experience. Out in the real world, we also have to miss work from time to time and figure it out.[/quote]
