We have no objections to it at all at this point. My DH and I have talked about this, he's retiring this year (yes we're old) we figure that vacations are learning experiences too. We really want to show our kids things like national parks, DC, and other historical places, and it may be during the school year. When I was in school, I would just get the assignments for the time that I would be off and have it done before I left, so I didn't miss our on anything, so I'm sure the schools still do something like that. smile
