Really? Kids missed school all the time around holidays when I was growing up. If there was a three day weekend there were going to be a ton of kids missing that next Monday or the previous Friday depending.
Same, I think it was 2 weeks for me, right at the end of year 8, because my dad got cheap tickets to Barbados for me and my sister (we have family there). This was back in 97. He just told the teacher I’d be off school until after the summer holidays and that was all.
