If you could talk Chris into a virtual port hole instead of a real window it would be substantially cheaper. Just sayin'

I know it's an unpopular position to take but, a few days off from school is totally worth it for the memories you create on vacation. We pull Jennie out from time to time and she's still an A student. They're only kids for a short time, make the most of it!!! That's my motto.

So, would it be bad to have Madi miss her first few days of high school???

 

[Launchpad11B]

Hi Nikki. So how did Sean do in the pool tournament?

George! Howdy friend. I'm attempting to reclaim this thread!!!! What are your plans for August 2011??

I'd ask her. That's a tough one.

Just my opinion, but no. I'm sure the teachers out there will disagree but I don't care. If my daughter was having problems with her grades I might feel different. Our vacations together have brought us closer together as a family. To me, that's worth a few missed days of school.

I would have had one very unhappy child. Our school has a mentoring program for freshman that starts a day or two before school. I had to work around those days as well.

I know that they are only young once but my school district has a policy of 3 vacation days per year any more and the students may not be able to make up the work.

Kaitlyn missed three days of health class in the last couple of weeks due to all the drama activities - she went from a 95 to a 69 because of missing work - she is able to make the work up. If she couldn't she would be failing the class

I think we know how Paul feels about kids missing school. (I agree BTW)

I have ALWAYS agreed with that idea. However, high school??? I guess I should probably ask James' opinion, too. Around here, it's harder to take Emilie out of school than Madi. Madi is no big deal. Madi is a straight A student.

 

[Launchpad11B]

He won't budge huh? Gotta respect that.

I'd ask her. That's a tough one.

Good point. Our DD wants to go with us. If she wanted to stay back and go to school then that's what we would do.

 

[*NikkiBell*]

Yes, I ordered it on Friday. I got an XL because that's what I would normally wear. You're a little smaller than I am, so I would say a Large.

lol That's what I did originally. It was enormous. Grr. I'm going to try and get the next size down. I don't like the ladies pink hoodies because of all the logos on the back. It makes me feel like I'm running a marathon or something.

Well . . . it's kinda like a marathon. 3 days of nonstop activities!!

It's a very personal decision Nicole. If your daughter will be impacted negatively by missing days then that's something to think hard about. If she'll be fine then I say go for it.

Just checked out the cruise meets thread for 8/16/11. Lots of DISers.

That is the exact same reason I decided against it. If I could just get it with the DIS logo on the front, I'd buy it in a heartbeat, but for $50, I don't want all the stuff on the back.

I think that I am going to make my own. Haven't had a chance to look and see what hoodies are out there - I would love to snag a purple one.

 

[*NikkiBell*]

I 100% agree, Nicole. I love the fact that there is a pink hoodie because that's usually what I buy (my favorite color), but I really don't like the back. I'm just going to exchange the one I got for a new size. I also got a DIS Unplugged one, not a DAP one, so I can wear it more than just the one night. I did get a DAP shirt too.

I agree. I think Brandie is making some pink hoodies for us.

Ditto for Alicia.
