School and camping
How many pull their kids from school for a few camping trips during the school schedule? Do you pull them out for alot of days? Or do you only try to work around school holidays etc.?

I take my son out of school for "Special Privileges" one or two days a year. He has gotten straight A's on every report card since he started school. He is currently above 4.0. He understands that his achievement is directly tied to his "Special Privliges". If he fails to achieve he will no longer have "Special Pivileges". His "Special Privileges" are planned and not education related; they are fun things, like going up north for an extra day, etc. His school work for those days is always completed and turned in ahead of time. He enjoys going to school, he also earns his bonus days and and he knows they are a bonus given for excelling in school. He also gives up several hundreds of hours of his summer and after school free time participating in shool marching band. He earns his "Special Privileges".
