  • Is it OK to take your kid out of school for vacation time?Latest reply: Oct. 14, 2012, 5:22 p.m. by

    I think vacations should be planned around the school schedule. I understand there might be situations you can't control, but education should come first.

    No not unless school is over, school is more important tan anything.

    I don't think it's a huge deal as long as the child has not missed many days so far that school year. We took my daughter out of school for 2 days when she was in kindergarten for a trip to Disney World in April. The schools around us only get 3 days of "Spring Break".

    I know school is important, but family time is too. I guess I feel OK about taking my kid out of school for a family vacation, but she is only in kindergarden. I also don't want her to get the idea that the responsibility of going to school is flexible, as that could create problems down the road. But we were invited to a nice vacation with my parents so I took her out of school on a Friday.

    kids are in school for more than 13 years of their life. I think they learn on vacation more than they do at school. Take Washington DC for instence, seeing it is a lot better than reading about it. :)
