[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son missed 1 week of MS when my mother died this year and it killed his grades even though we told them before we left. When he got back he ended up getting tested on material he had not learned. Really unfair. [/quote]

sorry - But the world won't stop for one kid.  That's the issue.

Even if a teacher hands out assignments for a child "on leave," chances are they will never match up to what was done in the classroom, as the lessons can often change from period to period. Furthermore, while teachers can plan out the big picture, what teacher has planned out the nuts and bolts of each lesson w/in a week's time?  This requires preparing materials and planning activities down to the minute.

to OP - Even if materials are online, many are posted after a lesson has been delivered. And they're just that - materials.  The instruction of those materials already happened that day.

Find a way to keep the kids here or if possible, see if one of you can stay home.  Can you hire someone's nanny for a week who will stay overnight?
