[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former 2nd grade teacher here. Honestly, to me this sounds like something fun to do on the day before Thanksgiving. Kids bring in and share their projects, absent kids won't miss any important lessons, they just won't get to share their projects with the class. Also, homework isn't really "graded" since there is no way to know how much of it the child is doing independently. I really think you need to calm down and that you're blowing things way out of proportion. [b]Have you even asked the teacher about it?[/b][/quote]

I'm betting a big fat NO.  Several posters have offered OP sound advice to deal with the situation, but she's clearly here to vent and not for solutions.  Which is fine, but means she won't get this "problem" solved.  Her kid will be absent, he will be told to lie about it, the teacher will not believe him and probably think pretty poorly of a parent who can't even 'fess up about a family trip or give the teacher the courtesy of a heads up.  But that doesn't matter, because her son clearly has a shitty teacher anyway.  Enjoy the rest of the school year, OP!  It's going to be awesome![/quote]
