Take the kids out of school for a week. Which do you think they will
remember more 20 years from now, a week of school or spending a few days
on
the flight line with Mom & Dad?

We did that in '03 and '04. By '05, my son was in advanced classes,
and he told me in no uncertain terms that missing a week of high school
would be disastrous.

That was one of my proudest moments with him, actually. It took a lot
of guts to say that, when everything in him wanted to go to Florida.

While I applaud his dedication I think we both know that unless the week was
during exams or such disastrous would be a bit of an over statement. I have
a 15 year old. I fully understand overstatements.
