[quote=Anonymous][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] For an entire day? Yes and sick days happen and list wages happen for those parents. This is on top of that. Those who can least afford it are paying the price.[/quote]
