[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the 6th grader starting in a new school?[/quote] Yes, she'll be starting middle school.[/quote] So No way. 1) no school or teacher is going to like this. Of course for some kind of emergency you could finesse situation, but to see grandma? You are seriously jeopardizing your relationship with teacher and school. 2) friendships and social stuff. MS is a different thing socially. No kid wants to be the kid who doesn't know stuff, who stands out by asking the questions that were answered the first few days. She will be behind for a completely unnecessary reason. 3) not sure about your child, but mine (boy) is really trouble with academic stuff. He falls behind easily on homework, etc. This would be a big consideration for me, but I get that not all school districts are as homework - heavy as ours and a lot of kids seem to manage that end of things better than mine, too.[/quote]
