[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious how the teachers living in Maryland and Virginia will swing childcare for their own kids if they are now forced to return to work July 27th and their kids don’t start school until September 8th. [/quote]

Do what many other families who work do- camp, grandparents, take leave, etc.[/quote]

Pretty sure teachers don’t get 3 weeks of leave. Also sure that teaching is the most flexible child friendly jobs in a lot of cases which is why the pay is abysmal and the unions would not allow that to happen where teachers are forced to start work three weeks before regular school without any flexibility or understanding.

The problem is that a lot of bratty children are in the DMV area. When your child was interrupting the education of mine and other children, you shrugged the teacher off and your lack of caring was a just deal attitude. Now that you have to deal with the bratty behavior of your own spawn you now see what the teacher was saying. If you raise your children well and raise them to understand your boundaries and expectations then the stress factor is not going to be there as much. The only thing you need to do is sign up for mail subscriptions to Kids Time Magazine, Plan outdoor activities (yard pop, chalk on the sidewalk, trail walking), KiwiCo, etc.

75% of the panicking on this board is people not knowing how to be active parents because they are used to outsourcing parenting to the ah pair/nanny, the teachers (private, public or charter) or some family member. [/quote]
