[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the breaks, it helps my HS stay on top of their studies and be able to have enough down time. [/quote] +1[/quote] I think it’s fine for high school, but for working parents with younger kids the inconsistent schedule is really hard. [/quote] It's not "inconsistent" if it's on a set schedule far in advance, which these days off are. There is time to plan. I'm not saying it's easy or ideal, I get that it isn't. But calling it "inconsistent", as if schools just airily declare on a whim on Wednesday that the next Monday is a day off, whenever, is incorrect.[/quote] It’s inconsistent for my kid because that day of sitting around (I work outside the home) gets him in a funk. He would rather be in school.[/quote] You could have easily given him things to work on (reading, extra homework prep, chores, raking leaves, volunteering in the neighbor hood, etc.) if he did nothing that I’d definitely on you.[/quote]
