My daughter is a budding actress/singer. She's played lead roles in local theatre and has today been invited to audition for a role in the West End. She is 11 and has just started secondary school - they have drummed into parents and kids the importance of good attendance and how time off will not be authorised. I've already had to request 1 day off for my mother in laws funeral in the same week as the audition. Should I request the day off or just take it as a sick day? My daughter hates lying so altho excited is totally traumatised by the decision. I really can't see school authorising it. Thanks.
