[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are certain things we learn in life.  Sometimes, it is that we have to make choices.  If you choose to take your kid out of school because you are fortunate enough to have lots of vacation time, then do it.  That is your choice.  Please don't come crying, though, when your kid grows up and loses his job because is boss expects him to show up to work every day.[/quote]

This is hilarious!!! All through elementary school, my parents would pull us out of school for ski trips and other trips through middle school. She would get the homework in advance, know what chapters were being covered in the book (so not asking the teacher to prep anything, just let us know what she was covering) and we would do school work every day on vacation. It was no more than 1 hr each day. I never had trouble sliding back into class. In high school, it would only be a day here or there because (as PP mentioned re: Biology), those type of classes were harder to do self study. I will say that you have to know your child - this worked well for my brother and I but might not work for other kids.

You know what that taught me? Work before play and how to get stuff done. Both my brother and I went on to get a good education, have good careers, and be responsible employees.

My only concern is now schools don't excuse absences due to vacation and I don't want them getting in trouble for my choices. [/quote]
