[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I ask - what kind of message are you sending to your kid that it is okay to take a vacation during school? I am constantly shocked by how many kids go to Disney, etc., during the school year. Yeah, it's less expensive, but that doesn't justify it. It's not fair to the student, the teacher and the class. Sure, this is only Kindergarten, and no, Larla probably won't miss much but consider the message you are sending, inadvertently, about school. [/quote] This is not a solid assumption. My family lived overseas and we would visit them for a long span. I took school very seriously when I was there, despite missing it to visit my family. I don't know anyone who slacked in school because their parents took them out for a week here and there for vacation. You can have high expectations on them the other 170 days of the school year and they'll turn out fine. [/quote]
