[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]w00t — it’s fun for my kid. I’m okay with it. [/quote] I am glad it is fun for your kid. For the student parents who have to be somewhere for work or work a service job where pay is not salaried, this impacts their real wages.[/quote] Agreed. It's a real hassle for working parents. Just because you [i]CAN[/i] take a snow day, doesn't mean you [i]SHOULD[/i] take a snow day. [/quote] Kids 8 and older can be home alone. I certainly was for long stretches even younger than that. So this is only a problem for K-2, so those parents one of you may have to use annual leave. Just like if kid had a sick day. It happens. Arlington needs to retain its teachers, and this is part of the effort.[/quote]
