A Father Takes His Kids On Vacation Then Receives A Letter From A Principal. His Response Is Perfect!
#1 That'll Teach Them
After a father took his kids on a vacation to Boston, the Pennsylvania man received a letter from the school principal that his children attended stating that he'd made a mistake. The letter stated that the absences wouldn't be excused. The father, Mike Rossi, responded with a letter of his own.

#2 Dear Madam Principal
While I appreciate your concern for our children’s education, I can promise you they learned as much in the five days we were in Boston as they would in an entire year in school. Our children had a once-in-a-lifetime experience, one that can’t be duplicated in a classroom or read in a book.

#3 In The 3 Days Of School They Missed They Learned About
Dedication, commitment, love, perseverance, overcoming adversity, civic pride, patriotism, American history culinary arts and physical education. At the marathon, they watched blind runners, runners with prosthetic limbs and debilitating diseases and people running to raise money for great causes run in the most prestigious and historic marathon in the world
#4 They Also Paid Tribute To The Victims
Of a senseless act of terrorism and learned that no matter what evil may occur, terrorists can not deter the American spirit. These are things they won’t ever truly learn in the classroom. In addition our children walked the Freedom Trail, visited the site of the Boston Tea Party, the Boston Massacre and the graves of several signers of the Declaration of Independence.
#5 In Closing...
These are things they WILL learn in school a year or more from now. So in actuality our children are ahead of the game. We appreciate the efforts of the wonderful teachers and staff and cherish the education they are receiving at Rydal Elementary School. I wouldn’t hesitate to pull them out of school again for an experience like the one they had this past week. Sincerely, Michael Rossi.
