My daughter stayed home several years ago and went deer hunting with me, and one of the teachers got on her pretty hard about it. This teacher told her as far behind as she was in her school work, she couldn't believe my daughter had stayed home to go hunting. The following week, they shut the whole school down for teachers institute. And I wrote the teacher a note and told her that I couldn't believe as far behind as she knew my daughter was that they would shut the whole school down for a teachers institute. I have always tried to teach my kids that honesty is the best policy. From then on, I simply wrote a note and explained that we were going to be out of town a few days. And since we live 5 miles from the nearest town, and 15 from the school, we are technically out of town every day.
I think the fine thing is a bunch of BS. But when you are dealing with idiots, what isn't?
