[quote=Anonymous]Since our pyramid policy was no assignments over breaks, tests couldn’t be given the first week back. That meant pretty much every class had a test prior to winter break so kids didn’t have to worry about studying/retaining material for several weeks. Your DC will probably have a lot to make up work in January, while at the same time keeping up with new material. And teachers are far too busy to prepare make up work in advance; your child can/will get it upon returning. My kids both said no to missing school for trips by about 8th grade when they started taking HS level classes. It wasn’t worth the effort required to get caught up. [/quote]
