[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course high school kids love it. Every kid loves having a day off lol. High school kids can be left at home alone. This calendar doesn’t work for working parents with minor children. [/quote] Minor children? Aren't about 95% (or more) of FCPS students minor children? Figure out childcare if your children can't be home alone. [b]Childcare isn't the responsibility of the school system. [/b]When you're a parent, [u]you[/u] have a responsibility to care for your children or find a proxy such as a neighbor, babysitter, family member, daycare center, etc. It is not a privilege to state this fact. Parenthood = sacrifice and responsibility. [/quote] +1 this. I’m so tired of hearing parents say - but I’m working! You have kids. It’s your responsibility to figure out childcare, not the school’s. You get the calendar early enough and will have to figure it out. Life is about choices. You chose to work, now either take the day off or send them to a one day camp. Or become a stay at home parent. But either way, they are your kids and it’s your responsibility to figure out what to do with them when the day is off.[/quote]
