[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How often do you travel during the school year, like on weekends and take the kids out of school for Monday/Tuesday or any other combo. Just checking to see if this is normal?? I know a mom who is constantly traveling and her kids are missing school. [b]How is she getting away with this?[/b] Is she claiming they are sick to the attendance clerk? [/quote] ES teacher here. Every year I have at least one student who misses 50 days or more. These are not excused absences. The school social worker and attendance team bend over backwards trying to get kids like this to come to school. Last year, half of our students were chronically absent (missed 18 days or more of school). Nothing happens to them. If this happens every year for a few years, their case might go to truancy court but nothing happens there either.[/quote]
