This isn't about our schools not wanting them to go... They are OK with it...my teens JUST DON'T WANT TO GO!!! I did give them the experience I never had with our first cruise, I thought they would want to go again,They complained the whole time.Oldest 15 doesn't want to leave her friends or school. My 13yr old doesn't want to make up work and said even if she didn't have to make it up she still wouldn't want to go. THEY JUST DON'T WANT TO GO . I was just asking if anyone else's teens didn't want to go with them .... I always thought this was a considerate forum....geez
For the most part, it's been a considerate discussion. I found out a long time ago, that not everyone agrees with my opinions. I don't take it personally anymore and actually enjoy a good debate, and these boards usually keep personal attacks out of it. Your original post was obviously interpreted quite differently than you intended by most everyone on here. It seemed to be more of a question about missing schoolwork than simply not wanting to go. It sounds like your question would still apply even if you could go during the summer.
Anyway, to answer your question. Nope. Our teens love going on vacations with us as a family. We cherish these times together. They actually prefer cruises over WDW as they get some time "away" from Mom & Dad as well as getting to spend some time together on excursions, at dinners, shows, etc. They can't wait to go on the Fantasy and are actually disappointed we postponed our "Dream" vacation in 2011 to wait until 2012 for a 7-night cruise. We're going to WDW in 2011 with my parents and they think it's great that Grandma and Grandpa are joining us.
I think your teens will be disappointed in the long run. Is there anything else that you can do as a family that they'd enjoy such as a trip to the Beach, Mountains, etc.?
