Author: I can't even remember what I learned in grade 8. But I'd sure remember every minute of a trip to Scotland.
Subject: Why is it any of your business what decisions other parents make for their kids? High school next year -- big deal. Somehow my kids managed to make the transition AND keep up with their extracurricular activities. The idea that learning only happens in school is ridiculous. My kids learned more about Geography and History and Politics touring Ireland during Worlds and AIs than they will ever learn in a classroom. If your kid can't keep up, then it's your decision to pull her. But don't assume than everyone's kid has the same trouble keeping up. All life's experiences are valuable.

  • you are rude and judgemental. The poster did not ask your opinion on weather or not to go... -- When my dd is traveling for dance (more inside), Thu, September 17, 10:27:03pm
  • All schools are different I suppose. My ds has often missed for majors. His school is incredibly supportive of his dancing. His grases are good and he works ahead before he leaves. When he returns, he works harder to catch up. We have never had any problem. -- Irishmama, Thu, September 17, 10:36:09pm
