Traveling during shoulder season can lead to a more enjoyable trip due to cheaper prices, thinner crowds, and cooler weather. However, families with school-aged children often find their travel options limited to major holidays, spring break, and summer vacation, when prices and crowds are high. Parents may wonder when it’s acceptable to miss school for a vacation, but there’s no definitive answer. Factors such as the child’s age, the time of year, learning needs, social functioning, and constitution should be considered. Missing school can impact younger children’s foundational skills development and academic progress, making it important for parents to weigh the potential consequences.
