I am hoping I don't get too much flack here, but I have a question. Do you lie to your DDs school when she misses for meets? We have really draconian rules here about why kids can miss, and how many unexcused absences before they haul you into court. DD is a model student (4.0), but has already maxed her unexcused absences on a visit back to the east coast for a wedding. She went one over when we had to go again for a funeral, and we already had our warning notice from the district. Now, I am torn- I hate the idea of lying to the school, but at the same time I have zero desire to get tied up legally over missing two days for her regionals. Do I say she is sick or bite the bullet and tell them the truth? What have you done in the past, if your school isn't flexible about sports? Thanks for any suggestions.
