[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Preschool? Miss as many days as you want.
Kindergarten? Maybe a week tops.
1st-3rd Grade? 1-2 days
4th and up - I would not let my child miss school for vacations.

I have a preschooler and 1st grader. My child has missed 1 day for a Disney trip. We tacked on a long random FCPS weekend. We pay $$$ to pay to go away during school breaks. We have double or triple what we used to pay when we did not revolve our vacations around school breaks. Spring break cost us like $12k this year. Same trip cost around 5k previously. [/quote]

PP here. We are fine with doing our travel during school breaks. We went away for an extra long Columbus Day weekend, Thanksgiving, Xmas Break, long weekend in February, spring break and summer is coming up. That is enough time to travel for our kids.

DH and I just got back from Asia without the kids. Did not want the kids to miss a week+ of school. I'm ok with kids missing a day or two in early elementary but not when they are older. This is for our family. I hope they have perfect attendance in middle and high school.[/quote]
