[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I ask - what kind of message are you sending to your kid that it is okay to take a vacation during school?  I am constantly shocked by how many kids go to Disney, etc., during the school year.  Yeah, it's less expensive, but that doesn't justify it. It's not fair to the student, the teacher and the class.  Sure, this is only Kindergarten, and no, Larla probably won't miss much but consider the message you are sending, inadvertently, about school.  [/quote]

I have no problem sending the message that some -- scratch that, MANY -- things are more important than school, including family time.[/quote] You can't find family time, you know, when the rest of us do?  I get weddings, deaths, etc - things that happen once in a lifetime, but if we are talking about booking a trip to Mexico or Disney, or wherever, because it is cheaper and more convenient for you, maybe we need to rethink priorities.  Good lord, if we don't think school is important... what is?[/quote]
