This absolutely boggles my American brain that you'd have to ask permission to take your kid out of school. When I was a child my parents would call the school and let them know when I would be away for vacation as a courtesy to the administration, telling not asking.

In some places in America they still count if they were 'unexcused' (ie no doctors note, even if your kid was sick) and parents taken to truancy court. I remember some friends growing up that had to fight that because they didn't have the money to see the doctor over every sick day.
