[quote=Anonymous]I don't get the disconnect between parents complaining that many kids are behind, and parents at the same time thinking that missing a few days won't hurt "their" child. Do they understand that any time a group of kids are out, it causes the entire class to slow down to bring them up to speed OR it causes a lot of extra work by the teacher for their child? This is a positive feedback loop... the more kids who miss the day before break, the more likely that a teacher will not do real work that day, and then more kids will decide to skip that day. They already have a break. WHY do they need more break? Teachers - hold firm like the PP and cover real content; the 180 day year is already too short. [/quote]
