So my ds is in yr 2 this year and will miss 10 days of school end of march early April due to a trip to the USA (road trip national parks in utah/arizona and monster jam world finals in vegas). This was unplanned trip really and only came about as we got the flights free.
We have been planning a different us trip for sept oct this year since early 2014. Disneyland and a disney cruise.
I really don't want ds to miss any more school, but really want to go on this trip too. Cruise is booked although we can cancel for free until July.
Looking into flights for 2nd trip best price I can find around school holidays means ds will miss another 8 days of school so 18 all up this year due to family holidays.
ETA
Havent spoken to the school yet about him missing the 10 days he will later this term, too scared ill get in trouble lol.
We have taken him out for holidays before but only once a year since he started and only for 3 or 4 days at a time, but it wasnt an issue then for the school.
So should we just go anyway or postpone the trip for another year?
What has been your schools reaction to a child missing school?
He goes to a very small country school in sa if that makes a difference.
TIA
