I'm making the same face as your avatar! Mine missed 2 days just for The Majors last year and her school counted it as unexcused. Fine - it wasn't academic related so I got that.
Her cheer sponsor however, gave her 2 demerits for 'cutting'school and another 2 for missing a basketball game she was supposed to cheer for while she was in Indy. Really? 2 demerits for cheering at The Majors instead of a basketball game? And they wonder why so many left cheer after last year.
I'm only guessing, but I guess it's because Chicago has such horrible problems that missing school for dance is better than all the other reasons ("my gang was having a recruitment so we had to rob people"?) I think they look at it as anything positive in a child's life in this cr@p city is a good thing. Plus the schools don't have sports or arts until high school, so they're probably glad she's doing something physical.
Did the sponsor understand what the Majors is??? That's like when lakerfan's daughter (smoed) didn't make school cheer. What in the world... Absolutely absurd.
