[quote=Anonymous]So they are not "pro-family" because the kids have early dismissal on: Halloween (sugar day) Veteran's Day (a Fed holiday) Two days before Thanksgiving (when 1/2 the school is already traveling to be with family) And also, there are half days when most schools have parent/teacher conferences. It sounds like they are trying to work with families to offer time for parenting. Yes, it does stink to assume both parents can drop everything to pick up a kid at lunch a few times a month. It also stinks as a teacher to have to miss out on your own time with your children and extended family b/c schools are not just designed to teach, but to babysit. Some parents hire those after care teachers to babysit on those weird days, as well. Or, they make friends and create a co-op with other parents. [/quote]
