I'm making the same face as your avatar! Mine missed 2 days just for The Majors last year and her school counted it as unexcused. Fine - it wasn't academic related so I got that.
Her cheer sponsor however, gave her 2 demerits for 'cutting'school and another 2 for missing a basketball game she was supposed to cheer for while she was in Indy. Really? 2 demerits for cheering at The Majors instead of a basketball game? And they wonder why so many left cheer after last year.
I'm only guessing, but I guess it's because Chicago has such horrible problems that missing school for dance is better than all the other reasons ("my gang was having a recruitment so we had to rob people"?) I think they look at it as anything positive in a child's life in this cr@p city is a good thing. Plus the schools don't have sports or arts until high school, so they're probably glad she's doing something physical. :D
Did the sponsor understand what the Majors is??? That's like when lakerfan's daughter (smoed) didn't make school cheer. What in the world... Absolutely absurd.
