[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's about what you are teaching your kid also.  It's okay to miss school (work/life) because there is something more fun or convenient ahead.  So let's disrupt the whole class because it is convenient for me.  Your kid may not be learning science or how to write at 3, but you are starting the foundation of what life will be.  Extend your holiday if that is what you want for a day or two, but taking a kid a week out is just irresponsible in a structured environment with so many little kids trying to learn new social norms.

Or you could just say to your kid, "real" school starts in K, or 1st, or wherever that line is.  Many PK-aged children are in daycare centers all around town, and they are absent or take vacations whenever they want.   These are also structured environments with little kids, and the absences don't seem to interfere with anyone learning their ABCs, 123s, or "social norms."  [/quote]

Yes, fine, many people have advocated that OP keep her child in daycare or private preschool so she can do whatever she wants. If DCPS and OSSE have other rules, she is subject to them.[/quote]
