If this is your attitude then why even have kids if you think you shouldn't have to be responsible for their care and schools should be instead? You have kids, you have to figure out what to do with them when school is closed. If it means having to pay for camps and such, then so be it. If schools started to have more frequent breaks then we would cut back on something else in order to be able to afford camps or childcare for those times since we both WOH.

My kid is in before care for 30 minutes before the bus arrives and in after care 30 minutes after the bus returns. I pay $600/a month for one hour a day of care. That is because as the parent, I am ultimately responsible for finding care for my child, not his school. If I had your attitude, I would be here complaining that schools should be open for longer hours. After all, it's only 30 minutes here and 30 minutes there, right? What an inconvenience to me as the parent to have to pay for him to go to before and after care instead.

This new attitude of parents expecting schools to be held responsible for child care instead of parents is getting out of control.

Schools [i]are[/i] responsible for child care. That's why you pay for before-care and after-care, but not during-care.

It's true that schools are not exclusively responsible for child-care. Nonetheless, the effect of a school calendar on child care is a valid consideration, and not just for parents.[/quote]
