[quote=Anonymous]I took my kids out of school for a week's vacation! Yee haw! Seriously, though, I don't let them stay home just because they dont feel like going to school, and I don't take them out of school frequently, but maybe once or twice a year i take them out for "fun" trips. We do not have the same vacations, so, for instance, this year my husband and I had a week off at a time when the kids did not, and we took them out so we could all do an annual trip together. We gave the teacher's a month's advance notice and the kids brought lots of work with them-- and got it done. The teachers were fine about it. I apologized profusely for the inconvenience and explained the problem-- no other time whole family could vacation together-- and their reaction, uniformly, was "Don't worry about it. In 30 years, your child will still cherish these memories, and a week of missed school won't matter."[/quote]
