It is not a school day. My DD today said “Is today a stay home day?” meaning no school. Yes, unfortunately it is. I hate Mondays!!!!

Your kids are that unpleasant? Their poor teachers.

The poor teachers are taking long weekends and over sleeping while the poor kids are trying to figure out how the hell are going to learn.

Jesus. I am glad my parents weren’t this bad at parenting.

Mondays have been a third weekend day all year with no schoolwork for my kids. I can’t imagine trying to work.

FCPS should be ashamed.

Thy would just be fighting and screaming at school if they weren’t with you, ruining class for the children who don’t have behavior problems. Start parenting.

OP here. First of all, that's not true. Second of all, you know nothing about me other than what I just wrote.

So far today, we went on a brief walk but I had to take a work call; they cleaned the play areas, their rooms and emptied the dishwasher for me; they read; they did a math work sheet that I assigned for them. I have calls all afternoon. DH doesn't come till 7pm. It's gorgeous outside. I want them off their devices but our neighborhood isn't safe for them to be outside alone and they don't have school assignments. I don't even care that's it's nice outside. They should be in school.

Well, it probably doesn’t help that you are on your device, whining away to the anonymous masses. The first step you should take is modeling appropriate behavior.

Whoever you are, you're not even good at sock puppeting.

SHE HAS A JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you expect those of us who need to work for a living to ignore our duties that hit us hard on Monday morning?? Where is the common sense?

If FCPS were a person rather than a complicated web of people and parts with sucky leadership, maybe it would be.

Okay. And you aren’t good at parenting.

Yes, she has many jobs. One of those jobs is being a mother.

Okay. And you aren’t good at parenting.

Do you have a job? Are you home alone like OP? I'd venture to guess you are not. Never criticize other people. It's unkind. So you're bad at sock pupetting and you're unkind but we are all supposed to think you are a master parent?

Yes, she has many jobs. One of those jobs is being a mother.

And as a mother, she's entitled to come to a site and complain about how Mondays are tough and to see solace in others who might opine the same.

You're useless.

Just saw my 4th grader’s teacher at the park with her preschooler. (I thought this was a teacher work day). She tried to avoid me but I marched right up to her to say hello.

They never had Monday work but would at least meet for 20 minutes.

I hope she reads this TBH.
I’m disgusted by this whole school year.

My kids were done with all their tasks at 930am. Mondays are tough. I take most Mondays off so DH can work. I feel for those like OP especially if they can't afford hiring help and who have young kids.

Not sure about you but my siblings and I regularly attended school on weekdays.

An FCPS teacher with a preschooler is required to have childcare on work days.
