Opinions, please

Christian has a chance to go to Tallahassee with my MIL for a week.
It would mean she would miss 5days of school.
Not a huge deal as she is in pre-k. Two consonants are learned each week, but she can pick it up quickly if she misses school.
Other lessons would be missed that are learned on a semi-daily basis, including poetry, songs, new Bible verses, stories, numbers, etc


What do you think? Should C miss school, for 5 days, enjoy time with her extended family (some of whom she has very recently seen), or should the mini-vacation be put off to another time when C will be out of school anyways on a break?

cameragirl21 replied: IMO send her. at her age, whatever she misses she can easily make up (with your help of course).
in principle, i don't like the idea of kids missing school because i feel education is very important but family is more important, especially at this time of year.
JMO of course.

Calimama replied: I'd send her. She isnt of the age where she'll be swamped with homework and such when she gets back. Let her enjoy being young and carefree.

CantWait replied: Nicole, really now, how can you even think of messing up your daughters life Don't you know how important an education is these days. Shame on you.










Seriously.

If Robbie can miss a day of JR High this week to attend dad's grad, I think C can miss 5 days of PRE-k, it's not going to be a big deal, especially for family, I agree with Jennifer, that's more important.

I'd send her, it'll be fun for her. A few days of not going to school can easily be made up for

paradisemommy replied: i'd send her..on any given day, in my book family is more important - kids learn fast - she'll easily pick up what she missed!

redplaydoh replied: I'd let her go, being with family is sometimes more educational than school... especially at that age.

hawkshoe replied: Personally, I don't consider pre-K school so I would have no problem with her missing it to go have fun with family.

That is exactly the way I feel also

My3LilMonkeys replied: I would say let her go also.

DillsMommy replied: I'd say, let her go. She'll have so much fun, and can easily make up schoolwork when she gets back.

BAC'sMom replied: I'd send her too.

lisar replied: With it being Pre-K I would send her. If it were something bigger like senior year or something really really important that she would miss then I wouldnt. But with it being Pre-K I would send her. She probably already knows the letters that they are going to teach that week. Ask the teacher if there are any worksheets that she can send home for her to do while on vacation. That way she isnt to far behind or anything.

Boo&BugsMom replied: It's only preschool, big woop! Send her. She'll have fun!!! There isn't anything that will go on that she either doesn't know or that you can't teach her yourself.

CantWait replied: Looks like there's a consensus.

C&K*s Mommie replied: yep, sure is.
