| Two parent working family here with two ES kids—of course they will go to school. Sending them to a day camp/center costs us $200-250 per day. |
Letting your high schooler stay home to doom scroll when they need to be finishing up assignments before winter break is dumb. I need your kids at school because if they don’t finish the assignment this week, the chances they forget everything about it when we return in 2 weeks and have to do it then and do poorly on it are quite high. Unless you’re actually traveling and won’t be here, please freaking send your kids to school. |
| That’s the day of all the class parties in our ES, so yes my kids will be there! |
| Even if the teachers are having celebrations that day, your kid should go to school. It’s better for them to socialize or watch a movie with classmates than for them to be on their cell phones. |
| The kids have speeches to present and formative quizzes. They do not have movies in MS quite like the ES days. |
My kid told me they are watching the Grinch on one of their classes. Another has work do and a third has a quiz. It depends on the class. And I am fine with that. I loved the days before holidays and close to the end of the school year because school tended to be more fun activities that was a nice release after a period of intense activity. I wouldn't have wanted to stay home. |
Maybe don't give you kid a cell phone if you don't want them scrolling on it? |
