My husband and I have differing opinions as to whether or not it’s a good idea to take our son out of school for a 2nd week this Spring to visit family in Florida. We just returned from a one-week ski vacation with the same family. We took our son out of school for the entire week. This next vacation would take place in 6 weeks, and we would have to take him out for another whole week. Neither vacation is “educational” in the traditional sense.
Our dilemma may be that my husband and I are selfish in our need to travel, and where and when we travel. We don’t want to jeopardize our son’s education but also believe that travel is a wonderful part of learning, even if it isn’t to places that people think of as educational.
Thanks for your feedback.
