I agree, although you have to be open to hearing real issues the whiners bring up -- yeah, I don't have a lot of patience with the "my vacation!!" whiners but there is also a bigger issue of equity when you consider that people have to figure out how to plan for/pay for summer breaks and APS seems completely blind to the fact that camp registrations start in Dec.  This is complicated even further this year with the elimination of Global Village/Summer Laureate.  Fortunately, mine have aged out of camp but when they were, key to making our summer camp budget work was that they did several weeks at Camp Kids Place, a great and really low-cost camp which fills in December.  APS's inability to make a decision is limiting availability of camps later in Aug since those camps that register early aren't planning on the later weeks -- I know Kids Place is ending a week earlier than last year.[/quote]

I absolutely agree about the problems the delayed release of the schedule is causing. Like yours, my kids have aged out of needing camp, but this is a level of cluelessness that is causing real harm to a lot of families.

It would be nice if the people who are worried about their vacations would take a few seats and hush, or use their voices to amplify the concerns of people who are worried about paying the bills. But that is not the Arlington Way any longer (if it ever was)[/quote]
