[quote=Anonymous] [quote]So what if I have multiple kids without overlapping breaks? Am I just SOL for those years? Only leave the area in the summer? No one failed at life because they missed a [b]week of school. [/quote] [/b] The issue is not a "week of school" The original post: [quote]I have a toddler and we've only done 3-4 Florida vacations. Got a condo, rented a car and kept it simple. We used to travel a lot and hoping to start again soon. Couple of our friends who love to travel with their 4-8 yr olds [b]routinely Have heir children miss school (preschool and kindergarten, elementary school) and believe that's the best way to travel. They did three and four trips respectively last year from 4-9 days long. [/b] They've kept it to domestic trips and the Caribbean. One of them did Disney in April after spring break and loved it. For spring break they stayed in DC and did all the museums. Both spouses work but have some flexibility where they work even on vacation for 3-4 hrs and the children (3 out of 4) still nap when on vacation and sleep by 9ish? What does DCUM think about this I am curious? [/quote] Agree--no one fails at life because they missed a "week of school". However, they may fail at life because they had parents who did not value education and who put their own interests over those of their children. [/quote]
