I just got off the phone with my kid's principal about our Disney vacation next week. We will miss school three days. My kids are in the 4th and kindergarten and she said that because their absences were unexcused the highest grade they could make on any homework during that time would be a 70. She said that Disney was not considered educational. That is absurd to me. Obviously, she has never been and does not know what Disney has to offer. I am a teacher as well, so I know the importance of attendance and completing work and all. I didn't argue with her because I'm not good at that and I probably can't change her mind. Maybe I should of explained what all is at Disney. I know some of you have encountered this, how did you handle it? By the way, my kids are good students so their grades will only be mildly hurt. It's just that it irks me that she thinks it's not educational.
Thanks for letting me vent.
