Agreed. There is no way either of my kids could miss a full week + of school, particularly the last 4-6 weeks of the school year. My oldest is missing more than expected for Worlds because it was supposed to be Spring break the week prior to Worlds but they added back the days due to all of the snow days we had this winter, but because it is a special circumstance her teachers are required to give her the work for those missed days ahead of time.I'm seeing some programs being in Orlando about a week. How does this work with your high school age athletes? Besides being way over the absence limit (adding to the ones required for other out of state comp travel days), my girl would be so far behind in their honors and AP classes, that I don't know how they would ever catch up. (AP Tests also start the day after The Summit, which my junior has one that day and one the next day. So thankful her team declined their bid. It was mixed emotions in our family when they won it.) I wish this all fell during the summer. :(
