The day of school their missing is not the point. The point is WHY their missing the day and what the parents are teaching the kids by taking them out and lying to the teacher about why their taking them out.

The point is WHY their missing the day... - Well, with such spelling as yours, one understands why you might be put off by the thought of being kept out of school a day. But would there be such ranting and raving, I ask again, had Mom and Dad taken Junior or Juniorette out of school for a day to go to the ballpark on Opening Day, or to catch such premieres as Stuart Little, or to get a head start on the 'NSync tour premiere?
