The teachers have families they want to go home to and should not have to do extra work making up packets, making up new tests, and taking time out of their lives to catch a student up that went on vacation by choice.
I'm kinda torn on this one. While I understand what you're saying, kids can be absent for a whole variety of reasons, and part of the job of the teacher is to help them make up the work. I don't expect my kid's teachers to "bend over backwards" or spend extra time tutoring them, but I do expect them to make reasonable accommodations for absences. I can pretty much guarantee that my straight A students are less work for the teachers over the course of the year than the kids with perfect attendance who have learning disabilities, behavioral problems, etc.
