Sounded like about 25% were absent from my kids' elementary school classes today.

I am a teacher (not in the DC area). We had a day off in early April that was changed to a make-up day. It was changed 2 weeks ahead of time to a school day. I had made plans to take my kids out of town for a long weekend to visit family so we left as scheduled and I didn't feel bad about missing that day. I wasn't the only one.

You life is pathetically shallow.

Sorry you don't care about family.

My 2nd grader said everyone was in his class today. Aftercare was full too.

A significant number of absences were due to the White House Easter Egg roll.

I wouldn't know my kids didn't go. We spent the day in DC with visiting family

My kid was absent as he was sick. I feel so silly as it's legit, but I'm sure they question it.

One of my kids had a sub today, and nine kids were absent (on vacation).

Actually, what it just goes to show me is that a lot of people in Potomac go away for spring break.

My son says Churchill was pretty empty. There were senior classes with <10 kids in them. Other grades were missing a bunch too but it wasn't as drastic. He says his Junior only AP Lang class was only half full (12 kids).
