Parents of children in private schools

[LimeSlice]

We never had an issue being out of school for any period. I think extended periods, like weeks on end, are not ideal, but they are employed by you. You tell them what is going on, work it with their teachers, who will either provide work in advance or provide catch up when they return.

I have never heard of anyone having issues at all because of the school being private.

I cant thank you all enough for your replies. Exactly as I thought but just wasnt sure if I was missing something.Obviously its just my dad and step mum being difficult. Seems to be the norm!

If it's anything like the private school I went to they won't care as long as your school fees are paid lol! I went overseas for a month in Year 11 and no one batted an eyelid. They did give me a fair chunk of work to do though.
