[quote=Anonymous]I agree this is an interesting thread! I am a former preschool and then kindergarten teacher. It is was always our belief (basically everyone I worked with) that days off for special events with family were far more important than what we were doing in class. The parents who have posted about Nats games with the dad who works a lot of weekends, Christmas shopping or sledding with mom, or leaving for camping trip a day early...I think these are priceless moments your kids will remember forever! As teachers we were excited for our students to get this special time with family and then come back and share their experience, making it a learning experience for everyone. I can see when the kids get older and the work they miss is harder to make up. There were a few trips in high school with my mom that I will remember forever and what I missed in school that day, no recollection whatsoever... [/quote]
