[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If any of your kids participate in a high level/travel sport, how do you handle events that require missed school time? My fourth grader has become very good, very quickly, at swimming and is qualifying for big multiple-day swim meets, many of them out of town. Its not like it’s all the time but seems to working out to a couple days, every other month or so. I am excited for him and want him to enjoy these opportunities but also feel a bit ridiculous taking a nine year old out of school for a sport. Of course there is some pressure from coaches to attend but I also know I can decline. Do you take your kid out of school for a sport? If so, how many times a school year and how do you approach it with the school? Thanks for any advice.[/quote]

ES - no sweat. We took DC out for vacations and all sorts of stuff.

DC is now in 9th and all honors classes. We are struggling with this now. DC missed a day for a HS sports post-season game. And it took FOREVER for DC to catch up on notes, assignments, etc. It was a huge pain in the rear. She may be out for something end of January. It's a bit tourney and she wants to go but I'm hesitating . . . [/quote]
