[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools have already lost this issue. Families will continue to travel at the holidays and other times of year to support the needs of the family.

Now what’s left is to decide what to do about it. Schools can adapt their planning and calendars so their absence levels are not reflected poorly. Teachers can work with students and parents about assignments.

But what will not work is to just continue to shriek about it. No one cares.

Unexcused absence?  Drop in grades if they cannot keep up.  "0" on missed test.  Simple solution.  Traditional solutions sometimes work.  
It is not the school's job to give extra time off to some students and not others.[/quote]

It won’t work. It’s a nice idea. You can adapt to the world we live in where you can wish for the days of yesteryear when tardy children were sent to the blackboard to stand with their nose in a circle, and children who were beaten at school would get beaten again at home.

Families are over, making sacrifices for no reason. Schools can adapt, or they can get used to fewer operational funds.[/quote]
