to take dd out of school for 3 days?

[stargazer83]

In the past 2 months both by uncle and my grandmother have died. I have called in favours to avoid taking dd out of school for the funerals but I want to take her for the internment of the ashes. I have spoken to her teacher who said she won't be missing anything.

Her head teacher though has refused saying she can only have a day which wouldn't be physically possible with the distance we would need to travel. Aibu to take her anyway?

No I would take her, clearly it's a very sad time for your family and she needs to be there. So sorry for your loss

YANBU. Some things in life are more important. How old is your DD?

I'm sorry for your losses .

How old is your daughter? Does she have good attendance in general?

I imagine the head is thinking of the attendance figures. I think you should push this and ask them to reconsider.

Having just seen the school holiday threads I feel the need to say I'm not trolling I promise.

DD is 7 next month

And has 100% attendance and is on Target at school
