Teacher have curriculum that expect students to be in school and need to deliver instruction on those days. Because too many parents think attendance is only necessary when personally convenient, teachers will also be expected to accommodate all the students that miss instruction. Many teachers will end up designing some type of lesson or task that is important, needs to be done, but could also be done as make-up work at home. Come to school? You get direct instruction and help with the task. Don't come? Task still has to be completed on your own.[/quote]

Yep. I do flipped lessons on these days with videos of the direct instruction and then have the kids who come in work on the actual assignment and have kids who are traveling complete the work before they come back. It's the best way I've found to give real lessons to the kids who come but be understanding of the kids who are away.

Interestingly, the county is very specific with teachers that we are not to use personal days right before a break. So, looks like my kids will be in school. [/quote]
