You guys do realize this post is over 5 years old, I am going to assume they have been on the trip and back awhile.

Well, I feel stupid. Didn't notice !!

I didn't notice because I clicked on that button that takes you to the first unread post. Oh well. Hope they had fun and have been back a few times.

As a teacher I would say there is no excuse. There are two Winter Breaks and Spring Break. Age and grade matters greatly too but, in my eyes it's just bad form. Would you be ok with a teacher missing the first week of school just because of their spouses military schedule? I never quite understood parents who felt the need to take their kids out for separate vacation periods?

'Our' kids, 'our' decisions! We did it twice and they were middle/high school, and they did great with no problems. They were both honor students and we had good relationships with teachers and principals. No regrets.

Wow, why do people 'dredge' these old threads up anyway!

I always forget to look!
