[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. DD’s in a competitive activity that has us very busy in the summer. It would be doable to take vacation in the summer but not super easy. She’s missed one day of school ever, so I kind of think she’d be ok.

I did consider standardized testing, I need to check that. Not sure the comment about advanced classes for 3rd grade … we don’t have anything like that that I’m aware of.[/quote]

I would not take a week off school because a “competitive activity” made it “not super easy” to take vacation in the summer.  I just think that treats school as third on the list behind the activity and your convenience. [/quote]

Op here. You must’ve missed where I said she's only missed one day of school ever. Also she’s very ahead of where she needs to be in part because I put her in private for kindergarten so she could actually go in person to learn vs learning very little from Zoom. Last year in 1st grade, I didn’t see a whole lot of hard core learning happening in May to be honest.

We’ve only been on one family vacation in her life so that’s also important to me.

In regards to her competitive activity, she doesn’t miss school for it. Also we have a signed contract regarding commitments so it’s not like we can just ignore those.

Last, she goes to a summer camp with a strong academic focus so she learns all summer too. [/quote]
