[quote=Anonymous]Also consider the anxiety level of your kid. For some kids, being lost for a week while they catch up is no big deal. For other kids it's really hard. And even if your kids are smart, they are still missing some things. Let's say the week you are gone they listen to and work on a text. Then the week they are back they work on a second text and compare it to the first text. Well if your kid wasn't there to analyze the first text they won't be able to do the work. When can the teacher spend time catching up your kid? They are busy teaching the new material. Just saying...I'm not completely against long vacations, it's just not as easy as "my kid won't fall behind" because they may miss material, miss a grade, miss a standardized test that they'll need to make up another day when they may miss more new content.
