To let dd have a day off school for a party?

[dilemaoffun]

Name changed for obvious reasons!

On Thursday dds school is still in (stupid holidays) . They are the only school locally still in.

DDs sports club is having a big activity session party. Everyone but dd will be able to go as the others are from different schools.

DD has had a really crap time recently at school and really wants to go. I won't lie and say she has 100% attendance as she has had a couple of days off ill but genuinely ill.

Would it be really bad?!

YABU. I wouldn't miss school for a party.

arghh that really is not helpful that you have both given different answers

Do it!

What age and what will she miss? Answer depends on those things a lot!

Do it, everyone deserves a fun day.

I'm a teacher too. Do it.

Do it

Mine are all missing half a day the Monday they go back (or possibly a whole day depending on the M6) as it's my mums 70th birthday on the Sunday and we have a big family party 200 miles away!

I would let her go to the party.

Do it! YOLO!

No I wouldn't let her miss it for a party.

I am also a teacher, do it.

Do it. How come your school is still in? Surely they must have had Easter off

They are in Tues - Friday and then split up then.

What kind of message does that send? It's OK to go to school but if something better comes along like a party you can ditch it.
Doesn't sit right with me.

I'd keep her off school and party on!

I'm a TA in reception, we do sod all of any importance in the last few days, it's not a problem.

How old is dd?
She will be doing sports things all day and still learning.

Are they in school on the Friday?

I'd do it in a heartbeat.

No, I don't see school as optional.

I'm a teacher. Do it

YANBU. Let her attend the party, it sounds like she'd benefit more from the treat than from being in school that day anyway!

I'm not a teacher
Do it
