[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD tested into a math enrichment class 15 minutes away. Unfortunately, the only available class meets 15 minutes after the last school bell (and you know it takes time to be dismissed and get to the car). I don't want her to be 5-10 minutes late every single class. Do you think it would be unreasonable for me to pick DD up 10 minutes early every Monday afternoon? The issue is that it's a fairly large school (400 kids) and the pre-K program lets out 15-30 minutes before the upper grades, so it is kind of a hectic time in the school lot. My other question is whether all these count as unexcused early release (10 minutes a week through the rest of the year). What do you think? I have no idea if this is a non-issue or an unreasonable thing to ask of the school.[/quote]

I would have done something like that when my kids were young and I would have totally believed it was reasonable and made up reasons why.

Now that my kids are grown, I realize this would just be silly and there is no need to do anything like this. [/quote]
