$40 days off
Pamela Sorooshiantafti
My little local school district is asking parents to donate $40 for each day of school their child misses - excused or unexcused.
We live 10 minutes from Disneyland - and every year the principals of all the local schools give the parents the big "talk" about how it may be nice to go to Disneyland on a school day, when the crowds are thinner, but how it costs the school money when the kids aren't there.
Guess they expect parents to add $40 to the price of Disneyland - and fork that over to the school <G>.
Somehow I do not think parents are going to be standing in line to VOLUNTARILY give $40 to the school when their kid is out sick OR when they've gone on a school-day vacation.
Sorry - this is about schools and not about unschooling, but I just think that the whole thing shows how totally out of touch the school adminitrators are and how they do NOT view the rest of life outside of school time as valuable learning time (because the school doesn't get financed for it).

I once read of a business that allowed workers to once a year call in
and say "it's too nice to come to work today". I always thought that was
a great idea - must have been great for worker morale to know that at
least once a year, you could do that. Maybe these schools should allow a
"disney day". (won't happen, but isn't it a good idea? ;-)
I'm a big fan of the olympics. When the olympics were in japan, a
married couple - journalists for the network - took their kids out of
school and took them to Japan. What a great experience that must have
been (but horror - they missed school to go to Japan!). The mom-reporter
talked about how great it had been for her kids. I had thought that was
great and wondered about the journalists whose kids were at home, going
to school, watching mom or dad have a great time in Japan, at the
olympics. Why do so many schools think that you can't learn stuff
outside of their buildings, their supervision?
well, as the yellow buses roll on through, we're off to the beach for
our not back to school party. Have a great day, folks!

I used to work for a company who never, ever questioned employees who called
in *absent* ~ didn't even have a limit on *sick days* because they knew
whichever number they picked, that is the number of times people will be sick :) We
were all guilty of a *feel too good to come to work* call, without being made
to feel guilty!
Every year when I travel to LA to visit the inlaws, I take my best friends
children out of school to hang out with us in the middle of the week. Sometimes
Disneyland, sometimes a picnic from Whole Foods, sometimes a backyard swim ~
they don't mind which, they just love the idea of Diana's Day Off.

A friend of mine works in a place like that.
Many people wouldn't like it. They LIKE rules. They WANT to be able to
whine "That's not fair." But the simple truth is that IF a company allows
employees to use their own judgment, they see which ones have good judgment. AND
it's BIG and not so simple truth that what is too many sick days for one person
isn't going to be the same number as for another person. A really valuable,
quick, responsible employee can miss more work with less irritation than one
who drags and shirks.

attended a dance program at a fancy private school and everyday I wasnt there was
100 dollers!! geez. i'm not even kidding, thats just rediculous. I felt so
guilty when I was sick/injured for 2 days.

The thing for the little ones is the Bug's Land in California Adventure.
It is really designed for toddlers and small children, more so than Toon
Town. Little gentle rides, and lots of water fountains to play in.

I went once during the Christmas breas--but not the last day of vacation. It was a little drizzly, but not cold; really beautiful weather--springtime anywhere else. There were
NO lines, and you know what? I FINISHED! Shortly after dusk I was done--there was nothing else left I wanted to ride, or ride again. I went home (MIL's house, where I'd ditched
dh because they were both claiming they'd only *drag* themselves along with me, so I left before they woke up). Unfortunately, MIL no longer lives there, so we won't be able to
make it this year.

That's dumb. And greedy.
But I suppose the school can't posibly see what kids could learn at
Disneyland. You know, when my son didn't go to preschool, one of the things
everybody seemed to ask about was how he'd learn "social skills" like
standing in line and taking turns. We went to Disneyland that year. He
certainly learned to stand in line, even if he learned nothing else there!

>>WHY? It doesn't cost the school money when kids miss school. It may costthem in time to do makeup work, but they're not losing dollars because kids
aren't there. <<
In California, all the tax money goes to the state level and then the state doles it out to the local school districts which dole it out to the individual schools.
How much a school gets depends on daily attendance at that school. It used to be that an excused absence didn't keep the school from getting money from the state for that absent student, but they changed that a few years ago and now the state only gives money based on the number of students actually in attendance - excused or unexcused doesn't matter - if they aren't there, they cost there the school doesn't get money for them from the state.
So - the principals used to tell the parents to lie if they went to Disneyland - give some acceptable excuse so the school would still get their attendance money. But now they don't get the money anyway - whether the absence is excused or not.
By the way - excused absence means the teachers are required to allow the child to make up work - can't give them zero on a missed exam, for example. An unexcused absense means the teacher is not supposed to allow the child to make up missed work and the child receives a zero on anything they missed.

It is dumb and greedy, but schools DO loose money when kids miss school. They
depend on federal and state money and the money is allocated by census. That
doesn't necessarily mean enrollment by September 1st, in some (many?) areas,
it is doled out by day to day head-count. It is that way in our area, but
schools here aren't charging per diem. Yet.

colds and have the flu, and then they'll be healthy for the next several
years. Some people just don't get sick.
I know I always busted my buns to catch up on work after a sick day or two,
so I wasn't a burden to my co-workers. And I was willing to help them out
when they needed it, because I knew they'd covered for me.
Funny idea, isn't it? Treating people with respect, and they'll treat
others the same way. Hmmmmm.... <g>

Well, when I told Dave of this discussion, he got really big eyes <bg> and
said maybe we can go the first week in December then. Soooo, maybe we could
plan on that if everyone wants to go together.

Well, we looked at our calendar last night. And the dates we can come will
be Dec 4-7 while going to the parks only the 5 and 6th. We figured we could
have dinner with everyone on the 4th which is a Thursday and we would leave
on Sunday the 7th. I can' t believe the cost of a 3-5 day pass now. It's
outrageous! So we'll only be going for two days. :o/
