[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I just looked at the calendar and there appear to be only 20 weeks of the year with 5 full days of school. All other weeks have at least 1 day off / partial day. 20. Out of 52. For elementary I counted 30 days of no school DURING the school year. Can no one see how this calendar is a huge burden to working parents? Most working people only have a few weeks of leave per year. The 6 weeks of no-school (interspersed between August - June) + 10 weeks for summer... That is a LOT of time to cover w/ alternate care arrangements. [/quote] Is it really that different from prior years? Although my kids are older now, I remember when they were younger, it seemed like they were always off from school. But we were ones who decided to have the kids so I always understood it was part of parenting that kind of sucked, but we just had to figure it out. I didn't think MY childcare difficulties were the fault of a school system.[/quote]
