My DD just started full day Kindergarten this year. We have been told by the principal at orientation that any absences that are not due to illness are considered illegal absences. They do not want you to pull your kids out for vacations. They also said after 5 absences they will call you for a conference and 10 absences you will be contacted by a social worker! We have always taken our trips to Disney in the off season because it's cheaper, nicer weather, less crowded but most importantly, thats when my husband can get off. I am feeling extremely guilty for wanting to pull my DD out of school. Am I setting a bad example for her that school and good attendance is not important? How do you all feel?
