Taking Your Kids Out of School to Travel
Courtesy of Terry Ward
The debate of whether or not to take your kids out of school to travel is
certainly controversial. As a parent, an advocate of family travel, and even
an early childhood educator at the start of my career, I am often asked for
my opinion on the subject. To me, taking the kids out of school isn't so
cut and dry.
I, myself, have felt the wrath of the school principal when I took my
children out of school for three days to go to Alaska, where they went whale
watching, learned about totem poles and Eskimo culture, panned for gold,
and saw glaciers first-hand. My daughter was in first grade at the time, and
I gave plenty of advance notice, offered to have her do all of her school
work while we traveled and had her submit a report on what she learned and
saw (which she did via a video).
It was not enough. The principal told me it was illegal to take my daughter
out of school for travel and gave me a stern earful about how one small trip
in first grade elevates to further travel in high school and is detrimental
to children. Yet, many studies reveal there's a link between educational
travel with kids and success later in life.
For families, off-peak pricing, especially in the fall and after the
holidays, also makes it very tempting to take a break during the school year
. The more affordable back-to-school shoulder season may help families who
may not be able to afford a big vacation travel with their children.
Is it okay to take your kids out of school? Or should it be avoided at all
costs? Here are some things to consider:
Does Your School Allow It?
Be informed. Does your child's school have a policy? Most often, schools
make these decisions on a case-by-case basis, depending upon the
circumstances, but rarely do they encourage travel-related absences. Some
schools have non-negotiable attendance rules that forbid it. Others may
allow up to five days of missed school for travel purposes.
How Is Your Child Doing in School?
If your child is already struggling with certain classes and grades are low,
taking him or her out of school is probably not an ideal choice. However,
if your child is excelling in his or her classes and is quick to catch up,
it may be okay to consider taking time off to travel.
Says Julie H., a middle school math teacher and mom of two, "Some students
can miss school and have an easy time making up necessary work. Others have
a tough time, so they will need extra help following the vacation. Families
can use their vacation experience in place of some assignments, with
possibilities including researching the history or geographical features of
the area visited. It is up to the teachers to accept these assignments at
their discretion, in place of classwork."
How Does Your Child Feel About Missing School?
Sure, we call the shots as parents, but talk to your child about the
possibility of missing school, or even a weekend to travel. Your child may
have a special project he or she doesn't want to miss, or the weekend's game
is very important to him or her. Don't start the trip on the wrong foot
with an angry teen who missed the homecoming game.
What Grade Is Your Child In?
For obvious reasons, the younger your children are, the easier it is to pull
off a vacation during school time. It's fairly easy to pull a child out for
a few days in elementary school. Middle school becomes trickier, as
students begin to rotate between multiple classes and teachers, and it
becomes even more difficult in high school. Even the best students can fall
behind easily and may have a difficult time catching up.
Tips for Taking Your Child Out of School
The deal is too good to pass up, your school doesn't prohibit travel, and
you and your child are ready to book that vacation. Here are some tips to
make it an easy transition:
Meet With Teacher(s) Beforehand
Before you even book your trip, set up a time to meet with your child's
teacher(s). Ask, don't tell. No educator will appreciate you waltzing in and
announcing you're pulling your kid from class for two weeks to go to Disney
World. Let teachers know what your intended plans are, and ask how you both
can work together to make the absence as seamless as possible. Remember
that you are creating extra work for the teacher, and be appreciative.
Teachers have your child's best academic interests at heart, and most have
dealt with this situation many times. Listen to their advice.
Don't just ask teachers for the homework your child will miss while away
either; ask for the lesson plan. Spend your vacation going over the lesson
plan with your child. Discuss possible extra credit work, such as a report
or school presentation based on the trip so your child can share what he or
she learns from his or her travels with the class.
Provide Advance Notice
Teachers don't like surprises when it comes to attendance. Let them know as
far in advance as you possibly can about your trip, making sure to give them
exact dates, and avoid making any changes to the itinerary once it's
approved.
Says Vicky L., a Board of Education member and mom of two teenagers, "Give
teachers ample notice. Try to give at least three weeks' notice before a
vacation, and then remind them again a few days before you depart. While
your vacation may be top priority for you, you can't assume it is for
everyone else."
Keep the Trip Short
Just because the deals are great doesn't mean it's necessarily worth taking
a three-week family vacation to your cousin's vineyard in Italy during the
school year. Such an extended absence often outweighs the educational value.
If possible, plan around a long weekend so you're only missing a couple of
days. Avoid long-haul flights -- re-entry will be difficult enough for your
child without throwing jet lag into the mix.
Time the Trip Wisely
If possible, schedule your trip later -- as opposed to earlier -- in the
school year, so your child has a chance to become familiar with the routine.
The first month or two of school is an adjustment, no matter what your
child's age. Always avoid testing periods. Also take into account the pace
of the curriculum during the period you will be traveling. October is
generally a jam-packed month; the week before Christmas break is pretty slow
. If your child is involved in a team sport or any extra-curricular
activities, take these commitments seriously, and keep coaches and advisers
in the loop.
Make It an Educational Vacation
It's not just any travel that helps children, but educational travel.
Consider what your child stands to gain, educationally speaking, from this
trip. If this a spot you have visited before, or one which offers little in
the way of culture or enrichment, consider planning it during a school
vacation and take advantage of the deals in ways a vacation will enrich your
child's education. For example, if your child is studying the Revolutionary
War, taking him or her to Boston, Lexington and Bunker Hill is a way to
make history books come to life and give him or her a better understanding
of what they are learning in school. If your child is reading "The
Adventures of Tom Sawyer," a trip along the Mississippi River and rides on a
steamboat can add to the experience.
Don't Make It a Habit
Treat school-time trips as the exception and not the rule. Pulling your
children out of school for family vacations is not something you want to do
on a regular basis -- certainly not more than once a year.
However, if you don't want your child to miss school, or his/her school
advises you against it, don't let it stop you from taking advantage of the
great deals available, simply keep to weekend trips -- you'll be surprised
at how much you can pack in.
And lastly, if you can swing it, always bring your child's teacher back a
small souvenir. As every good student knows, even when you follow the rules,
a little kissing-up never hurts. | p*********s

更直接关系到funding，跟你孩子会不会落下功课一毛钱关系都没有，所以你offer让孩
子旅游期间补功课一点都不会打动老师的心
