[quote=Anonymous]The Post had an editorial from a McLean parent raising awareness of the lack of five day school weeks this year. https://wapo.st/3RPJvKB I recognize that the days off are helpful for some. For me, though, my special needs child does better with routine, and the multiple days off break up the routine. I'm also aware that working families and lower income families have to deal with the burden of child care. No, schools are not child care, but they used to run on a consistent schedule. Parents could adjust their work based on that consistent schedule of their child being in school five days a week. Daycares and rec centers could provide consistent schedules for the expected days off. When schools shift to rotating, inconsistent days off, that's a burden on everyone. It's hard to plan ahead.[/quote]
