[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Summer is more like having only 2 months off now. [/quote] 2 months is a long time though. Long time for working parents to find childcare, long time for teachers to go without paycheck, long time for kids to go without the structure of school and many students fall behind/regress academically and socially over summer break. [/quote] Look, I’m a teacher and a parent and this whole “finding childcare for summer is hard” argument is ridiculous. School has ALWAYS been out for summer in the US. It is not a 365 day a year endeavor. You knew having kids, as did I and everyone else, that there are holidays, breaks, weekends, etc. and nobody can provide childcare for you on those days. Ludicrous to suggest this is some sort of new burden on parents. [/quote]
