Before I retired 3 years ago, my patients were voicing the same complaints about the government schools.
It seems those running the government schools are deliberately attempting to disrupt family time, family vacations, visits to grandparents,....and...especially the summer family reunion.
“It seems those running the government schools are deliberately attempting to disrupt family time, family vacations, visits to grandparents,....and...especially the summer family reunion.”
We talked a grandmother with 5 adult children and 12 grand kids in school up and down the left coast. They hadn’t had a family reunion for 3 years.
So the grandparents started telling their adult children, you will take a week in the spring, summer and fall and come back to our farm/ranch. So now they are doing that at Easter, July 4th and Thanksgiving. The parents just take the kids out of school.
We have so many illegals in our school system, our school does a week plus after Thanksgiving and before Christmas and again in the springtime as their illegal kids and parents go back to Mexico to be with their grandparents.
That puts our kids out of sinc with many other year round school that don’t do the illegal time off thing.
