[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to write your school board members and then you need to engage them where they care which is politics.

All of the schoolboard members are liberal and many are progressive. This calendar is *not* progressive and disproportionately impacts lower-income and dual-working families. Women and hourly workers are supposed to be constituencies democrats care about. So raise the issue with local league of women voters, canvassers/fundraisers who are trying to get support for other democratic candidates (especially if you’ve donated before) and directly ask school board members how they are contributing to the affordability agenda with their calendar choices.

It is idiotic that this is how any of this works. But COVID created the idea for many Democrats that liberals don’t mind keeping kids out of school and now its course correction. [/quote]

Have you confused school with being child care? You think its primary purpose is to warehouse children?[/quote]

I think schools exist to provide a public good at public expense. Has taxpayers we have a right to assume the public will be provided efficiently and effectively, and not create undue burdens on the households they are intended to serve. [/quote]

What undue burdens are they creating? The calendars are published a year in advance. No one can control the weather. There are no burdens, except for maybe people who suck at managing a household. Stop thinking of school as child care. It's not. [/quote]

The undue burden is on STUDENTS!!! You need to stop. The calendar is a problem.  Go away, you lazy troll.[/quote]

What burden, objectively, is being placed on students? I'm talking a real cognitive effect, not your emotions and feelings of the calendar. But a real statistical effect that is negative effecting them academically. What can you actually prove with data that shows a burden that is having an effect on student's learning as a whole?[/quote]
