[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is ridiculous. This is an unpaid internship in high school for gods sake! Yes, she should ask for permission to take vacation. If they say no, she will have to decide whether to take the internship or miss the vacation.[/quote]

Unpaid or not, it is still a work commitment that the OPs daughter committed to by both applying for and accepting. She understood it was unpaid when she decided to pursue the opportunity. If she was unable to work the entire agreed upon time due to an existing illness or personal issues, it should have been explored during the application and interview process, and the employer should have been given the opportunity to decide if she was still a suitable candidate, or if another student who could meet the time commitment would be preferred.

I agree with the PPs saying this is indicative of what the new workforce is like, and things like this are the reasons why. These kids are taught early that if something comes up in their private lives, they don't have to work around it.[/quote]
