As a parent of 2 overachievers, once they hit middle school, classroom days are (in our opinion) invaluable.
The pandemic taught us that remote is not for everyone and not always better.
And the kids need to be in class with their teachers. Usually.
I agree 1000% that a few days here and there can be made up. But 2 weeks -- not if the kid is a STEAM or in a competitive curriculum.
Before kids, I said I would take my kids with me as I traveled the world on business... but as they grew up, the reality is they want to be with their friends, in their class, with their teachers.
Some kids and some families will have a different approach, and I support the choice of the parent.
