DH and I had planned on taking DS's to WDW in October of 2003 but our plans recently changed. I was shocked by the curriculum and the amount of homework that my sons have in the 1st grade. We felt that by 3rd grade, missing a full week of school could be disastrous. We opted to go this year, in early June from a Thursday to a Tuesday. This way, they will not miss a full week of the curriculum. Their teachers have been very supportive and at least one of them will not give any homework but will allow one son to do a writing assignment about the trip. We have purchased disposable cameras and journals for them to utilize. Each one will be expected to present a report to the class when we return.
