[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you tell your kid's teachers in advance, offer to do any makeup work they want (but don't demand they prepare anything) and aren't generally a pain in the ass, there's a good chance they'll mark a couple of days as excused to avoid the letter. Just be upfront about the issue/don't lie. Our kids' teachers have always been willing to do it. (We take a family trip to my DH's country of origin every other year and miss about 8-10 days depending on the DCPS schedule for that year. The country is far away and so it's worth it for us. We've always been able to work with teachers to keep the unexcused year total under 10.)[/quote] No. Do not give teachers more work to accommodate your off-peak flight/vacation. You can buy a workbook from Target. I don't even respond to those emails anymore. I just cc the social worker and let her do her thing. [/quote]
