[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's so insane about the school year calendar? I think it's great that we're observing religious holidays beyond the Christian ones.[/quote]

Do you have a job? If I have to explain this to you, you clearly do not have younger children and work full time.[/quote]

NP, but don't you have childcare if you have a job? We are a dual parents working outside the home family and used SACC and they were almost always open on the single days off. The local martial arts places do the same. What kind of childcare are you using that you don't have coverage for these days?

I will agree, though, that I don't like how short the summers have gotten. Makes it hard for high school kids to get jobs, attend camps, etc. [/quote]

First, it's a pain to plan around these days. If you think it's not, you haven't experienced it. I gave up. I am exhausted from all the planning as I do enough of that for summer. Second, I want my child doing school work during the week, not playing Minecraft or watching shows or doing nothing productive/constructive. Third, the available camps are few and far between, and certainly there aren't any for the early releases. [/quote]

Sounds like a lot of whining. Buck up and handle it.[/quote]
