[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which charter shames working mother’s?[/quote]

Ones that schedule lots of events during the school day so the children can present their work at the end of units.

Not just charters. Also DCPS schools that love a publishing party. [/quote]

I disagree that having events during school hours is "shaming working mothers."

As a working mom, I find it frustrating that many events occur during school hours while I am at work. However, I recognize that school assemblies and presentations are most logically scheduled during school hours. I don't think that my DCPS does this to shame any parent and certainly at our school, as many parents would be inconvenienced by events that occur in the evening since a 9-5 schedule is not the norm for our working parents at all.[/quote]

9-5 is still a norm if not everyone. but, our school has almost nothing scheduled for parents during the school day. I think if your school wants to, it's ok but things like PTO meetings and important events for parents (informative as well as parties) should be outside school hours.

just to further derail this thread on a great article.[/quote]
