After the way the last few years went with school closures, homes schooling, missing time with friends and family, birthday parties, holidays etc, I wouldn’t begrudge most kids a term time holiday.I dunno, she didn't have to pull her kid from school to do a tribute to her Dad imo. She could have waited until mid term etc. Should be leading by example as a teacher!
He’s probably in senior infants or 1st class. He’s going to miss very little and from what she said, it was one of her dad’s last wishes for them all to go to away to Orlando to mark her dad’s birthday. I’d say he knew it would be an extremely challenging time for all and wanted to treat them one last time and turn it into a happy event.
While I do agree education is important etc, I can see why parents have to someone’s eat into term time to be able to avoid holidays. But this is a one off family event to celebrate her dad. I would 100% do the same.
