Pulling kids out for vacations NOW?
I teach middle school and over the past 2 weeks, SO many parents have pulled kids out of school to go on family vacations. I understand that once summer hits, prices skyrocket, but there are finals and state assessments coming up.
I just got 2 e-mails from 2 separate families letting me know that their children would be out on a family vacation next week and the following 2 days - returning the DAY of my final exam. they are missing the entire review and the review sessions I offer before and after school. I also have to mention that the majority of the kids going on vacation cannot afford to mis the reviews...
Is anyone else dealing with this?

One of my kids just returned today from his little vacation. It's disgraceful.
