[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a teacher.  I think most teachers would try to provide information on how to keep up while out of class.  However, it appears that some people want the teacher to do hours and hours of prep for their kids.  As a teacher, I was happy to do that for sick kids--but, it was quite rare for a child to miss more than a day or two.

This travel is a choice.  So, do your best to help your kids keep up, but know, that your child is not in class and that class does not stop while your kid is away.

And, anyone who asks for an excuse from their doctor due to "mental health" is teaching their child to make excuses for their own behavior.

There are consequences for missing class.  Maybe, you will luck out and the kids will miss very little.  But, to expect things to come to a halt because of your plans is ridiculous.[/quote]

Again, no one expects things to “come to a halt” while their child is out and they don’t expect “hours and hours” of prep from the teacher before they leave for vacation. All we want is the makeup work when we return without the attitude and without expecting a grand “Thank.” You are quite dramatic.[/quote]
