I teach 5th grade, have two boys entering 7th grade, and a daughter entering 8th grade. We will all be missing 5 days of school the last week of February. The missed days will stress all four of us out, but the time with family will override that. If you are not in violation of her school’s attendance policy, I see no reason to not go. Just emphasize with your daughter that you will do everything you can to help her get back on track. That may mean some extra time at school, a tutor for a few days, help from mom or dad, etc. Whatever is needed. That may help her feel a little less stressed. I truly believe the time with family, and the memories being made, is more important. You never know what tomorrow will bring.
As far as 3-4 hours of homework for a 6th grader?? That is asinine! Shame on that school and those teachers for allowing that to happen! That really makes me sad for those kids (and their families). They need time to unwind, be a kid, spend time with family and friends, and participate in extra curricular activities. I get so upset when I read things like that.
