[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't do it at Longfellow. Maybe 2 (3 at the most) days. But 8 is really pushing it - that is a full week and a half of missed class. They will likely miss tests/assessments, and a lot of instruction. Not only is that a lot to put on your kid, you're openly expecting a lot from his teachers to catch him up AFTER the break when they will have moved on. I could understand if this was a last minute/family emergency type thing, but it's clearly not if you're planning this far in advance. You'll also likely be flagged for chronic absenteeism, and that's putting pressure on the entire rest of the school year should your kid get sick or need to miss school for any reason. [/quote]
