[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, don't push the school.

Push at work. Please. A promotion ceremony from elementary to middle school should be a sufficiently good reason for someone to miss 4 hours of work, including a standing meeting.[/quote]

This.  How is the answer to try to change the minds of 50+ people instead of the 4 people your DH has a meeting with?

I do get that things during the school day conflict with work.  But my kids have been in school long enough that now I know I need to plan ahead and get in front of my time off.  If your DH can't miss this meeting for his kid's event, then he is probably choosing to miss the meeting occasionally for OTHER reasons that he has deemed more important.  That's his own issue.

Also, many kids understand as long as you show up when you can.  My mother was a school principal at a different school and could never make anything during the day.  But she came to 95% of events that happened in the evenings.  I don't remember caring.[/quote]
