Does this stike anyone else as sad? Did any of us grow up in that kind of school enviroment?
Yes it does. Thankfully, there still are some school districts that aren't *that* strict on it. I know ours is one of them. They definitely discourage it but they have a procedure to follow if you are going to take your child out for vacation and this is all the way through High School. I know you can't make up tests/labs per se.
So far, they have never asked for doctor's notes for any abscense either yet but I still get one from the orthodontist and the orthopedic (my DD has some appointments in the city & basically those are all day appointments -- she has no choice but to be miss.) I do think as of right now DD has missed about 5 days with all these appointments, I don't know for sure because the school's computer system was messed up so they couldn't report how many days of abscenses on the report cards last time. It basically said 0 for everyone.
