[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you can try pulling her out early and see if it's stressful for your child. She will need a snack in the car.

I'm not worried about her except the unexcused absence issue. I'm trying to be mindful of the teacher and the front office staff. Is it unreasonable for her to leave during "packing up" time once a week? [/quote]

PP you replied to. When my kids were little, I would never have dreamed of doing that. But they're now 19 and 14, and I've realized that people pull their kids out for all sorts of reasons. So if this enrichment opportunity is important to you, I think you should try. No, it's not a huge burden on the teacher, or the front office.

I pull out my youngest for extra violin rehearsals when she's gearing up for a competition or audition. Less than once a week, of course, which is normal, because she's in high school, and those classes are harder to make-up. But the concept is the same: that you do what's best for your kid.
