We are highly considering taking our then to be 7th grader out for 4 days Labor day week......i dont really want to, i have no problem in elementary but i know middle is tougher.....hes an average student but not too good in math.....but our family of 5 our youngest turns 3 middle of September so if we try and plan it during actual school weeks they have out this coming school year we would be paying another $2,000! Basically because we get priced out of the one room value
Junior high is tougher. Also failure has bigger consequences. By 7th grade students are expected to start a math sequence that would get them through certain skills before heading off to college. Getting behind now would put him behind when applying to colleges, and may mean his first year after high school would be in the local community college.
It’s not the end of the world, but you might be able to fix this now. Since he is already having trouble in math maybe getting a tutor or summer school before 7th grade starts would get him ahead. By September, if he’s strong again in his subjects 4 Disney days won’t mean a thing.
