Moms Talk: Should Kids Skip School for Spring Break?
This week, we're asking St. Louis parents to tell us how they handle kids' conflicting school breaks.

Suppose Mom is doing some advance spring-break planning for the entire family. The family has one child in elementary school, one in middle school and one in high school.
Unfortunately, their breaks occur at different times.
So onto this week's question: How can a compromise be reached? Should some of the kids be taken out of school for a couple of days, or should the trip be skipped?
