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?!

And the lesson is... school isn't important, so the next time you don't feel like going to school and staying at home to play instead, just lie and say you don't feel well...

no the lesson is missing the odd day wont kill anyone - get a grip!

(Not a teacher but working for the virtual school)

I'd do it! The holidays are ridiculous this year! I'm off school for the next 2 weeks (I'm a TA) then DS is off for 2 weeks after me. I'm sorely tempted to keep him off on his last day and do something nice as they wont be doing any work.

Do it ... teacher here too !

Will missing that day make a difference 10 or 20 or 30 years from now? I doubt it!

Do it. What good will it do to make her feel left out and alienated. Wont make her any more enthusiastic about school and she isn't going to learn anything anyway if she is too busy thinking about where she would rather be. They don't do anything important in the last few days anyway, its all worksheets and posters. Busywork.
