	Sometimes, once-in-a-lifetime chances are more important than school and you have to take the risk of a hit to your education.

	Or your child's education.

	That is what award-winning Austin-based lawyer Karen Vladeck did when she wrote her daughter a leave-of-absence note to her daughter's 1st grade teacher. You see, Vladeck and her daughter had scored the impossible to get tickets to Taylor Swift's Eras Tour.
Vladeck shared the note on Twitter. 
\u201cI actually sent it. Let\u2019s see how she responds.\u201d

In the note, Vladeck makes a ton of references to Swift songs hoping the teacher was also a fan of Taylor Swift.

	Luckily the teacher was also a Swiftie—as fans of Taylor Swift call themselves—and the note made her "ENTIRE DAY."
Vladeck's husband's response was less warm, however.
\u201cWell let\u2019s hope her reaction is better than my husband\u2019s\u201d

        1680622506
Other people's reactions were more like the teacher's. 
For example, many other Swiftie teachers said they would have been delighted with the note.
\u201c@KSVesq @LissaJoStewart @taylorswift13 as a teacher i would be like Yes enjoy and send pics and vid\u2019s !\u201d

\u201c@KSVesq @taylorswift13 As a Swiftie and a teacher, I 100% approve. \n\nNone of my students missed school though. I did. \u201cIt\u2019s me, hi, I\u2019m the problem, it\u2019s me.\u201d \ud83d\ude02\u201d

        1680622506
Many Swifties in the comments got in on the game of references to Swift's songs.

\u201c@KSVesq @taylorswift13 Hopefully she responds: \n\nI Knew You Were Trouble when you walked in.  \n\nEvermore, Teacher\u201d

\u201c@KSVesq @taylorswift13 Eh, it\u2019s just one day of school; I\u2019m sure the teacher can Shake It Off.\u201d

\u201c@KSVesq @taylorswift13 She really missed out by not responding You Need to Calm Down\u201d

        1680622506
Other parents wrote in with examples of events they took their kids too after requesting leave-of-absences.
\u201c@KSVesq @taylorswift13 One year when the San Francisco Giants won the world series, we called school to say our two boys would not attend so we could go to the victory parade. The school thanked us for our honesty as half the class called in sick. Good luck.\u201d
 — KSV Eras Era (@KSV Eras Era)
        1680622506

\u201c@KSVesq @taylorswift13 I once sent a similarly humorous absence note. I was later told that his teacher found it so clever that she forwarded it around amongst her colleagues.\u201d
 — KSV Eras Era (@KSV Eras Era)
        1680622506
Finally, other people commented on the difference between the teacher's reaction and Vladeck's husband's response.
\u201c@KSVesq @taylorswift13 Just brilliant!! Loved the difference between your husband\u2019s and the teacher\u2019s response! From another legal-mummy of a young girl-Swiftie herself \u2026 kudos! \ud83d\udc4f\ud83c\udffb\u201d

Which, with SNL, usually means some cast changes—out with the old (and sometimes not so old) and in with the new. Show creator and producer Lorne Michaels recently announced SNL would return on October 4 with a literal handful—five—cast changes.

Speaking during a memorial service for far-right activist Charlie Kirk at the Kennedy Center, failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake—now the Trump administration's Senior Advisor for the U.S. Agency for Global Media—called U.S. colleges “indoctrination camps” and urged parents not to send their children.
Lake ignored the fact that Kirk was killed while speaking at a college, in this case Utah Valley University (UVU), the largest university by enrollment in Utah.

Vice President JD Vance served as host of the late far-right activist Charlie Kirk's podcast this week and was called out after claiming Kirk "never uttered" words about the "brain processing power" of Black women—even though Kirk said as much in 2023.
Vance made the claim after Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah—a Black woman—said she was dismissed from the paper following social media posts on gun control and race after Kirk’s assassination.

Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Trump was asked about the order he gave earlier this month to destroy a boat he suspected of transporting drugs off the coast of Venezuela, rather than simply intercepting it. All 11 people on board the boat were killed.
