schools in CA have their budgets approved based on student attendance!
My mum used to let me take a couple days off a year. She would have been beyond pissed if i had faked sick tho.
Honestly, I don't see a problem with it. One of my kids is very introverted and shes in middle school. I can see how being around that many people in a social setting exhausts her. Its all over her face. If she asks for the rare day off I'm inclined to say yes.

I realized a couple of months ago that my children DON'T KNOW HOW TO CROSS A STREET. They're 10 and 13. WTF.
