Whlle I have never had a negative experience with my kid's teachers regarding taking a vacation during school, I had to re-think my approach when our school system came out with an official policy against this practice. I too had read similar problems from other parents dealing with teachers.

My decision, then and now, is that it is my child and my business where we go and what we choose to do. So now I simply write a letter that states "we will be out of town for family reasons."

It hasn't failed me yet.
