Can I have a anonymous post please
I am divorced and have a 14 year old daughter. Her dad wants to take her to Spain with his brother, wife and family which would mean her missing the first 4 days in September term time. I really don’t agree missing school time. What do you think?

I would say let the school know have them send her all the work and instructions over email and have her do it and send it in while she’s gone. Yes she’s still miss school technically but at least she’s getting the work and she won’t be missing to much.
That what I always did when I went somewhere with my dad and ended up missing school. They can’t count her present because she’s not physically there but they can send her the work and her still get it done and turn it in when she gets back. 😊
It’s only 4 days, They don’t normally do anything for the first week anyway. And I wouldn’t let the school know as you’ll end up getting fined, 4 days out of a whole school year is nothing, phone her in sick. Life experiences are just as important x
My only thing about her missing the beginning of term is that she’s missing the start of topics, getting her time table and settling into a new school year. You’ll be surprised how much work you do in the first week at a high school. Would be different if she was at primary but things move so fast. Me personally wouldn’t agree to it and I wouldn’t be paying the fine either x
Sometimes life experience is better then school experience. Just think about it, she’s not going to remember those 4 days of school, shell forever remember going to a different country and the experiences she had.
I missed the first 2 weeks of school when we went to Germany. Just let her. I was so thankful i had some enjoyment in highschool 😂
Let the school know. If she has regular contact with your ex husband why not? It’d be the same if you tried to take her on holiday… how would you feel if he said no? How do you think your daughter would feel?
I’d say if it’s 4 days she is going to miss of school let her go x
Let her go just say she’s been unwell she will catch up they don’t really start much in the first week x
It’s only 4 days x
I’d say let her go.
4 days is ok
Do the school know
4 days isn’t long at all I’d let mine go
