Not to show up where?

I'm a bit perplexed by some of the posts:

"lying to the parents to stay a bit longer at school" - why would my kid lie when he could easily say "Mom, I'd like to stay a day before heading home" and I would say "sure thing"?  I have no doubt that my son keeps a good chunk of his life private; why would I make him lie about silly stuff.

"find something to amuse themselves for a day" - of course my kid could do that quite happily (and he did), but he actually wanted to come home before midday on Thursday.

"worried about kids who can't..." - who is worried?

Really, this is a post about scheduling and how annoying it is when ones time and money is not respected.

You are sincerely hyperbolic. Your kid can't figure out what to do with some free time, YOUR kid's problem. No one says you have to scramble to buy Pumpkin new tickets.

If a class is doing exceptionally well schedule wise, then a cancellation is a gift to most students who will enjoy and use the free time.
