When I was in 3rd grade, my parents pulled me out of school for a week to take a vacation.
We drove from Cincinnati to Bonita Beach, Florida to spend a week with my grandparents who lived down there.
5 months after that, my grandpa was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer; he passed 3 months after the diagnoses.
That trip was the last memory I have where we were all together - my mom, dad, sister, and both grandparents.
We went to the beach and swam.
We had bonfires at night and ate smores.
Me and my grandpa went fishing.
We visited an alligator park in the Everglades and fed the gators.
I have a memory of sharing a massive piece of key lime pie at a diner with grandpa.
If you are ever in a situation to take a family trip, don’t let some teacher or principal make you feel guilty. Take the trip.
Imagine if I didn’t have that memory because I had to learn my times tables instead.
This guy is the reason people can’t stand educators; many of them think they should replace mom and dad.

It’s 2025 and I actually have parents trying to defend pulling their child out of school for a vacation. I get a death. I get granny is turning 100 and lives out of state. But to get a cheaper vacation- nope. Can’t ever support that.
