I'll Always Be OK Pulling My Kids Out Of School For Trips

Boy, that reentry into real life after Labor Day is bumpy, right? And I bet it's already got you dreaming of your next trip somewhere. Well, today we've got a batch of new travel pieces to give you some ideas. First up: a piece by Meg St-Esprit about why she takes her kids out of school for family trips and feels great about it.

"Yes, I know the stats. Attendance is closely linked to performance, and we want our kids to do well in school. What we don't want, though, is kids who think there is no value in a break or a getaway. We don't want our kids to be so embroiled in hustle culture that they can't find the value in a long weekend in a neighboring state or catching a plane while their peers are rushing for the late bell," she writes. And they're getting a lot out of it, too — allow her to explain at the link.

"When you're planning a trip to Disney World, you need to figure out your budget with the tickets, the hotels, the dining… the list goes on and on. But the first thing you'll need to determine is precisely what time of year you'll visit," writes Morgan Flaherty. "While some families may be constrained by school or job schedules, if you are open to planning your trip at any time of year, there are certainly better times to visit the parks if you want to avoid the bulk of the crowds (or the Florida heat)." She talked to two experts to get the scoop — check it out.
