[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, you take off work for field trips.

Are you aware that pre-schools close for snow in the winter? Mine used to follow FCPS's closure schedule. You will be staying home with your child if you don't put him/her into a snow day camp.[/quote]

I'm aware. The Pre-k may be canceled, but daycare may be open. Last year we did have to take 3 days off during the blizzard because the roads weren't plowed.

Now I can see the teacher probably thinks I'm some sort of bitch for looking surprised about missing work for a field trip. It's my first kid. So shoot me. I work in the medical field, which is 24/7, 365. I'm working Christmas this year. You can call me a bad parent or whatever you want. I am just used to work interfering with everything. I didn't know parents took off for reasons other than illness.[/quote]

No need to be shot. Every working parent has to make these choices (if they even have the option). Parents take off for things other than illness or vacation. My mom took a day off here and there and pulled me out of preschool or school (elementary and middle) and we would go on an adventure day. She had a demanding job and usually wasn't home until right before dinner time most days. [/quote]
