[quote=Anonymous]Beyond the younger grades you should avoid doing taking your kids out of school. I agree with the previous poster who mentioned teaching kids a respect for school. Unfortunately, many parents do not respect the classroom or teachers. Many think it is there job to catch up a child who was out for an extra vacation. I hear parents all the time belittle what teachers do and feel they can do as good a job with their kids at home. I wish parents like this would home school and stop treating the classroom like a drop in baby sitting service. I do think some schools are more rigorous than others and a child may find it harder to make up a week of work. I know my DS's school is very rigorous and a week would be a nightmare for a student to make up. Most teachers would not mind doing it for a sick student, but not where a parent has elected to take them out for travel. [/quote]
