If you have an issue with what has occurred, you know Bonnie has made a really, really bad decision!HelloSweetie wrote:I love Disney and Hawaii, and take my son out of school for a week every year. It's common in his school, as most families travel. I agree that things often get overblown on this board and that those kids are loved.Addicted2vlogs wrote:
Disney Trip during the school year is negligent?
Whoa. It really doesn't matter while they are this age. No matter what religion, age or country we come from, I think we can all agree that kids in our class were always going on trips, overseas, interstate. In that same class there was the kid that never missed a day & there was the kid that never went to school not because of trips but because drug addicted parents. Are we jealous we aren't going to Disneyland or genuinely annoyed that the Hoellien kids are missing another 5 days of primary school (middle school).
Ok I'm a bit triggered. From age 6-10 I done correspondence schooling, like homeschooling but in the 90's. My dad was a little slack with the school work, but gee, travelling this half of the world done more for me than school ever did. Yes even Disneyland is educational and mind stimulating.
Knorpp&South have 9 kids and travelling the world. They are great, Mormons too.

BUT... it is extremely poor planning to miss 4 weeks of school during the school year, and can only be justified in my mind as it being something they all desperately needed at the time. Disneyland a week after returning? That just isn't good. Not from a social, professional, educational or even practical standpoint.
The thing Bonnie is missing is that most families wouldn't forget they had a dream vacation booked. I'm not sure how she thought that would make it sound better. If anything, that makes it much worse.
To the triggered person, the person said it was negligent PLANNING. Which it undoubtedly was. Especially if Bonnie is claiming she "forgot"
