[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um, how about using this time to form a relationship with your child?[/quote]

I have a great relationship with my children. It does not, and has never, included being their primary source of education while I work a full time job. If you can accomplish those things and still be a productive employee and a good teacher...not a parent, because in no time in recent US history were parents expected to be the primary source of their child’s education, I commend you. I can’t do it. Many of us are struggling to manage these new roles that we never expected to undertake. [/quote]

NP. Were you planning on homeschooling your kid through the summer? Because this post is about summer camp alternatives, not summer school. All the parents on here complaining about being de facto teachers for a few weeks are on the wrong train. As for summer, if your kid is elementary age or up, he/she can (or should be able to) entertain his/herself for a large part of the day. If he can’t, then I guess you’d better talk to your employer about flexibility, use leave, or lean on your child’s other parent to help carry the load. Good luck. [/quote]
