This year we are missing the last three days before winter break.

In the past we’ve flown back from spring break trips on Tuesday or Wednesday following Easter.

If we can save thousands, we will.

Life is too short, and the reality is your kid isn’t missing anything in grade school…only missing math in middle school…and high school is a crapshoot. [/quote]

If that’s the case why do folks bother sending kids and teachers bother planning lessons?  Because in fact kids are missing stuff.[/quote]

I’m a high school teacher. As long as the family isn’t asking me to do an ounce of extra work, I don’t really care. I post all my notes and assignments, so the student can keep up while the family is on vacation. If the student falls behind for an unexcused absence, however, I hope the family assumes the responsibility and doesn’t place it on me.

If your trip doesn’t add more work to my overloaded plate, then vacation away. [/quote]
