To ask if you’d let your kids miss school in this situation?

[magicbreathing]

If you had had to move very suddenly and didn’t have enough money until the end of the month to get them to school?

(Not my situation, BTW, this isn’t a thread requesting funds.)

Could your friend tell the school the kids is not well, only started with illness this morning so if they could email work home for a few days to try child to read through ?

... the school will (rightly) point out that if the children are well enough to work, they are well enough to come to school.

When you say to the end of the month we are talking just a week right?

A week off in exceptional circumstances is fine to me e.g. fleeing DA, parent has died etc.

I agree no one is obliged to accept a solution that doesn't work for them just to please the person who suggested it.

A week isn't much but I'd worry the 20 mile journey isn't going to be sustainable long term.
