[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Public school has 180 days in session. Go on vacay during the other 185. Or homeschool. Or go private. Or go to online school.[/quote]

1/2 the time spent in school in DC is a waste of time.  If you have a high performing kid, that percentage goes up even more.   The kid will get much more out of some trips then missing a few days of school.

Now if your kid is at the bottom of the class, well that is different situation altogether.

If you’re pulling your kids from class for multiple days in middle school, you’re contributing to their anxiety. I see kids crying before and after returning from abroad. Is your vacation more important than your kid’s mental health? [/quote]

I’m the PP and i’m talking about elementary school which is OP’s question.  NBD.  Do it now before middle school when it will be harder.

BTW, I know my laid back kid, who had no issues coming back from trip.  Will we travel as much in middle? No and that is why I’m telling OP to do it now in elementary.[/quote]
