[quote=Anonymous]I agree some PP's sounds really selfish.  "If I could have been in part time daycare I would"....well you can and leave the DCPS or DCPCS spot for someone that really wants and won't abuse it and join a coop, and please don't mention costs are there are many affordable part time options out there.  Children need breaks?  Yeah that's what the 3 month summers, MANY teacher development days etc etc are.  I can see an occasional family vacation that one couldn't coordinate on school days, but to go into the school year with the attitude of "I plan to take many days off" is just being rude and dare I say a bad parent.  "When I was that age kids didn't even go to school"....well then keep your DC at home until age 5 and don't hog a spot.  "What can it hurt with PS being ABCs and 123s?"  I don't know about your kid's PS but my kid is learning a WHOLE lot more than ABCs, especially if you're in an immersion school.  My kid has roles and responsibilities that he's assigned each day and it helps to provide structure and discipline.  The type of attitudes displayed above are precisely why the US lags behind so many countries when it comes to education.  "Kids go to school too much and need breaks, kids should start at later age"....how about going to school more and starting even younger? Ugh!!![/quote]
