Hard Questions: How Many Days of School Is It Acceptable to Miss?



This question is partly born out of the jealousy I feel for my online tweeps that are talking about going to conferences I am not attending.

Last year I missed six days of school because I was attending or presenting at conferences. This year I plan to miss seven. Honestly that is a lot of days outside of the class. If I miss five or six more because of illness that will be two weeks of school missed!

How many days of school did you miss last year for conferences? How many do you plan to miss this year? How many missed days become too many? Are we attending too many conferences during the school year?

  1. I missed 4 days for conferences. 20 days would be 10%. That is a lot of days. I think I missed 5 other days for one thing or another. Three days were extra curricular supervision.
