Fibbing for more holiday travel days?
Are you willing to feign your child’s illness to get more days off for travel from her school?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
If you are traveling for Thanksgiving or Christmas will you be using only the allotted days given by the school system or will you be adding on?
If you are adding on, what are you telling your child’s school? Are you taking the unexcused absence or are you fibbing that your child was ill? Will your child go along with your story or will he blurt out “we were at Disney World”?
How many unexcused absences does your school system give? What happens if you exceed that amount? How do private schools handle family leisure travel?
