Exactly. And the school did a LOT to accommodate and support, but there were also compromises that needed to be made, things my daughter had to give up on, including a few items where there was miscommunication or misunderstanding and her expectations were not fully met. I really don’t remember the details because my daughter was proactive in making all of the arrangements on her own – my only direct involvement was to advise my daughter to try to get any agreements in writing, so there would be a record of the understanding down the line.
And I’d assume that’s the same for any other sort of travel or EC’s that result in missed school & assignments.
That’s life. When there are competing interests, adjustments have to be made. Each person determines their own priorities. And no one else is required to agree with or support one person’s choices.
