I kept my daughter home from school, SHE TURNED 18 TODAY, is this an excusable absence?
Answer:
I think it's an excellent excuse!! If there were more parents like you, we would be much better off with our young people...Tell the school to pound sand if they don't like it! Wish her a Happy Birthday from the Y/A Team!!!
Birthdays are not excuseable - but if you talk to the school they may understand it was for her birthday. Good luck! And tell her HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
It's her b-day! Don't feel guilty. It's fine.
no, that's not an acceptable excuse! what kind of values are you teaching your child? who cares if she turned 18 today. she will be 18 all day today and for the rest of the year. she needed to go to school.
well technically she is an adult..so she can basically do what she wants anyway.
Probably not, but at 18 unless she has been chronically absent from school, I don't think they are going to make a big deal about it at the school.
She's excused. Tell the school if they have a problem with that, they can talk to me.
She got a happy birthday from the Y!A team. All I ever got was a violation.
I think this is an excusable absence but the school may have a diffrent opinon.
Umm not to be mean but duh!
No it probably isnt, so I would suggest to say she was sick. Who cares if you are telling a little white lie. Dont pay attention to these people talking abvout "what are you teaching your daughter" birthdays come around only one time a year, and you arent ruining her sense of responsibility or moral fiber by letting her have a little fun on her birthday, anyone who thinks thats going to undo all the good you have taught her throughout her life is stupid.
No that is not excusable! They don't care...! If she has the days to spare though then i don't see a problem whit it!!
I wish my parents would have let me stay out of school when i was 18!!
Tell her Happy Birthday! This is a memorable time in her life and these times come few and far between. Tell the school that you have a "family obligation". It is none of their business. Make sure that her homework is caught up though.
uh, no not an excusable absence. i was not excused from school when i turned 18. i had to go and i would have been in trouble from parents and school if i didn't go. i don't think you should do that, but it sounds like you are doing it anyway. wait til after she gets out of school for the day or wait til the weekend.
I think its fine, turning 18 is a big thing. Me and most of my mates took the day off school on our eighteenth birthdays.
I wouldn't tell the school thats why she was away though, i'd say she was ill or something.
I would imagine it's not an excusable absence. I have heard of some companies allowing employees the day of their birthdays off, but this is not the norm and I believe many schools would frown on that. I remember in high school, my mom nearly ruined my perfect attendance by leaving for Florida a day before Christmas break started, however, 20 below temperatures forced school to cancel.
No, it's not an excusable absence, but... she did turn 18, and lunch and a shopping spree sounds fun!! I'm sure that if she doesn't have outstanding absences, she will be fine. Missing one day of school isn't going to ruin her... have fun, and have a great day! Happy 18th birthday!
i don't think the school will excuse it but just tell them she was sick or something i mean come on its her b-day. and your not ruining her morals by letter her have some fun. tell her happy b-day btw.
Unfourtanely, it is not excuseable. I asked the school when my daughter turned 8 yrs old...I sent her in with a sick note the next day...They only turn 18 once..it is just fine...have a blast today and happy birthday to your daughter
i think it is but wat is the school gonna do about one day missed anyway
I am highly in favor of playing hooky on one's birthday. To this day I still take the day off of work if humanly possible.
Well, Happy 18th Birthday! At my son's school, the absence is excused if a note is sent in by the parent the next day. You don't have to state why she was absent. I usually write, Please excuse my son's absence from school Tuesday, Feb... If you have any questions, please call me at .. and sign it. I've never gotten a call and all his absences are excused. I don't think it any of their business why there were out as long as they know I'm aware he missed school. My understanding is that if it's unexcused absence the child can't make up the work. I consider unexcused absence to be "skipping school". Have fun and don't worry. Good Luck!
I don't think so, she's not a dead President.
Only they get Birthdays off.
Tell her for me,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY QQQ* pop
hell yea! i bunked off on my 18th, got drunk and passed out in the middle of a road! oh those were the days.and if u kept her home from school then u kno that she's not going to be an idiot like i was on mine. plus they should understand, 18th's are very special and only happen once, if they don't then sod 'em, there's not alot they can do really. if they expell her (doubt they would) u can appeal it and it'd most likely be over ruled and she coould go back
oh and tell her Happy Birthday
that is no way a excusable absence are you umm a bit crazed? but it is a nice gift but no way will school accept that
All you have to do is write a note and let them know that you all had a "family matter" to take care of. They don't have the right to know what it is!!! That is what we always do for things like this..
she is 18, now she can wright her own notes to get out of school. lol
Nice thought by mom and dad, but no I don't think the school will count it as excusable. Every other kid has to go to school when it's their birthday.
Yes, this day only comes once in a young adults life, it sounds as though you've found an excellent way to welcome your daughter as an adult. In fact as an adult she herself may excuse herself but I expect she is in the later part of her senior year and will not want to miss out on to much. Of course you did not say she was celebrating her birthday but was sick ...right?
1 day won't kill her
but if her absent days r high
then it was a bad idea
