[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't take our kids out ever on school days--but I really, really wish the child-free teachers at my kids MS would stop assigning intense "projects" over 3 day weekends and during T-giving and Spring Break. This past year the kids were swamped with work every single weekend and during holidays. It really had a negative effect on our family. They were stressed out and miserable over it. I mention their child-free status because I really think that most of the teachers have no clue and zero sensitivity to how important family downtime is. It really is nearly impossible with sports (games and practice) and or plays or other non-academic activities to have any family down time--vacations? FUGGEDABOUTIT.[/quote] I would give feedback about this to the teachers and principal of the school. It might be something for the PTA to discuss. There needs to be a balance between rigor, and having time for other things![/quote]
