[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you all just love complaining. Let it go!!! Your kid can miss up to a certain number of school days a year without an excuse anyway, so if you didn't want to send them yesterday or don't want to send them on the extra day at the end, don't. No one will care.

This is just life. Sometimes you have to figure out childcare for younger kids during a day off. Sometimes there's a snow day and they have to add days to the end of the calendar. Whatever. Kids get older and this becomes less of an issue because they don't need childcare. And you can always just take an unexcused absence if you are leaving early for summer vacation or if had a trip planned this weekend -- as long as you don't do that too much, schools don't care that much.

This is the season of life you are in. Yes it's a pain. But it ends and then it doesn't matter. The endless complaining about how they need to fix the schedule by doing XYZ (which is always different from person to person because everyone had different ideas of what makes a schedule perfect) is a waste of time. There is no perfect schedule. Just figure out how to deal with it with your family and move on. [/quote]

The rest of us work in the real world where this nonsense would never be tolerated. [/quote]

My job I can just pivot to working from home. Maybe you should consider what is ‘real’ to people.

If you don’t respect teaching as a profession why are you sending your child to school and not homeschooling?[/quote]

What does criticism of how DCPS sets and manages the school calendar have to do with respecting teaching as a profession?[/quote]
