You are making so many assumptions that every families' situation is just like yours[/quote]

No, I understand that families are in many different situations. Yet the number of folks for whom these Mondays are more than an inconvenience is low. It's not an emergency with so much advanced notice, work schedules can be adjusted and families, friends, and older kids called on to assist if needed. Most school-aged kids can amuse themselves safely for a couple of hours when paremeters and set and enforced by adults. The amount of hand-wringing over this is is disproportionate to what the schools are asking.

[And yes, I agree it's a stupid plan in the first place. Richmond/DOE needs to require far less mandatory training from teachers unless they can show some measurable impact that it improves educational outcomes or wellness for students.][/quote]

+1, parents were given 3 months notice.[/quote]
