[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do we still have random half Wednesdays?  Sure back when it was a regular part of schedule and broke the week up for kids who went home to moms for lunch it made sense.

But way more families have working parents and making it Wed just compounds the annoyance. Sure my kids could do extended day, but let’s be real - 1:30 - 4:30 extended day is Lord of the Flies level insanity.  [/quote]

Huh?  My kid loves extended day and an hour or two extra is welcome.[/quote]

NP. My kid does not love extended day for that amount of time so I try to schedule playdates on early release Wednesdays to give her a break (I work from home so can host).[/quote]

My kids get upset if I pick them up from extended day too early. They are both boys and enjoy extra open gym time, that's probably relevant. [/quote]

Sure, our DD would love more time to play basketball, but the boys basically don't let the girls play in our gym, they hog the floor and all the balls and exclude the girls.  I guess maybe they could play boys vs girls, but since they are so much rougher the girls just give up.[/quote]
