[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not a fan. I can see maybe the Friday before or the Monday after a break, but I can’t get behind taking whole random weeks off. I get a lot of grief from family about this stance, but most of them are prone to being unreliable, late, and flaky. I’m trying to raise kids who live up to their obligations and have work ethic. You don’t flake out on responsibilities (school now, a job later), and there are breaks (or PTO) in place for a reason. [/quote] There is a LOT of busy work and waiting around in ES. I’m the PP who does at least a week a year. My kids are rarely even given make up work and their grades don’t miss a beat. This is at a “GS 9” elementary school and my kids high pass all their SOL’s (Virginia.) Trust me, their work ethic is not affected. You do you, but especially in ES this is a non-issue.[/quote]
