[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be really curious to see a poll (not one of just the UMC DCUM posters) of how many in MoCo actually go away for a whole week at spring break and want to keep it that way.

My kids do camp that week. We take a vacation in the summer but can't afford multiple week long vacations all year long. A long weekend around Easter would be perfect rather than paying for camp for the whole week. As for empty offices - some people may currently take the time off rather than paying for child care. That does not mean that they WANT to take all that time off at that time of school were to keep going.

The people who seem to hate this the most appear to be those with enough money to burn on long spring break vacations. That is not the entire county. [/quote]

School is not your baby sitter. Stop being a user.[/quote]

Of course school is my baby sitter. It's not the only function of school, it's not the primary function of school, but it is certainly a function of school. That's why I only had to worry about before care and after care, not during care.

And for the people who say that child care shouldn't be a consideration when it comes to setting the school calendar -- please explain why child care shouldn't be a consideration, but tourist revenues from Ocean City should.[/quote]

Your whole point of view is messed up. In Germany school might end at 12 or 1:30pm. You think German parents are complaining to their government?  They find a way, you had a kid, not MoCo pubic school system. Babysitting has never been a function of school, ever. [/quote]
