[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no problem missing school in preschool but would limit it more in K-2nd grade. Once in 3rd grade and beyond we've missed the occasional 1-2 days of school to extend a long weekend but I'd only take them out for a week+ for a really important family event like a wedding, funeral, etc. and only that long if it's a really great distance to travel. I know families that have taken their 5th graders out for a week for a trip to Disney (for no other reason than they just want to go when it's less crowded) and[b] I think that shows a lot of disrespect for their kids' education. [/quote][/b] +1 It's selfish, shows kids that your priorities are wrong and probably creates a lot of extra work for your kid's teacher. [/quote] Agree. Taking vacations during school time is bad parenting.[/quote]
