[quote=Anonymous]I don’t know what everyone is getting so high and mighty about. Even at the best elementary schools, your child’s education will not be adversely affected by missing 10 days. If you’re absent to travel, the experience in its self will be in many ways more educational and rewarding. When I grew up, unexcused versus excused was the difference between a kid missing school with their parents’ knowledge/permission (excused) and kids cutting class (unexcused). It is, frankly, not the school’s business why I think my child needs to be absent. Use the free sick days if you must to get them off your back; I can’t imagine caring if I heard someone did so.
