I have read through this thread and wanted to throw my 2 cents in. In an ideal world, my students would be at school every day. I also understand parents who want to give their children experiences outside of school, and a WDW vacation is an incredible time to spend having fun with family. (I would love to go to WDW more often - especially during value seasons - but I would have my pay docked!)
I appreciate all of the parents who are up front with the teachers and schools about where they are going and asking for homework. I just want to ask parents to please not be upset if teachers are unable to pull work together ahead of time. A lot of learning in the classroom can be planned ahead of time, but a lot of times, things don't go as planned. Some teachers are more comfortable giving make-up work after the students have returned. If this is the case, like many other posters, I suggest making your own assignments for your kids - journals are a great way to keep memories of your trips!
