[quote=Anonymous]No, no, and no. Do not do this, Op. The teachers will not look kindly upon this and will not ‘work to catch your kid up after break’ at all. The teachers barely work to make sure the kids understand the material to begin with. They are ‘presenters’ and your kid must interpret, work through problems, re-read, and memorize on their own. Your child will miss material being presented in all academic classes. They will have to do papers, tests, projects, and reading on their own. Things will be taught anew in December as that is the best stretch of complete 5 day weeks leading up to Christmas. The teams of teachers like to clear the material with capstone tests, projects, and essays all due the last few days before break. They will plan on starting new units in January. This is a terrible time to yank your kid out of school. Slim down on your vacation dates or take that vacation next June. Do this for your child. [/quote]
