[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.[b]  However, it appears that some people want the teacher to do hours and hours of prep for their kids[/b].  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. [b] But, to expect things to come to a halt because of your plans is ridiculous[/b].[/quote]

Literally no one asked for any of the bolded.

As for getting notes, you can see it as teaching making excuses, I see it as teaching priorities and reinforcing what I teach them about not being responsible for others big feelings.[/quote]
