[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I truly think people who say “school isn’t childcare” are mostly just contrarians. I’ve only heard a couple (childless) teachers say this in real life. I’m a teacher and school is my childcare. I have to get camps 2 weeks during the summers and on workdays.[/quote] I'm a parent who works full time, and I say this. Do I use school in place of childcare? Of course! But that's because a typical school day falls when I have work. I don't think I'm entitled to have my public school system step up year round even though unlike teachers, my job is year round. I don't expect school to provide a place for my kids when they're sick even if I have something I need to do at the office. And I don't pull my kid out of school because I want to go on vacation at a particular time. [/quote] Thank you for saying this to people. It helps to know who to avoid. [/quote]
