no problem.
What about the obvious matter of them being able to arrange the teaching around that KNOWN date? No point in planning to teach topic X one day if some children are not there. Then a different bunch of children are off when topic Y is taught. You end up having to go over the topics several times over to make sure that all the children have been taught all the topics.
