“No problem. Please pick up your child at 9:00AM while the rest of us make the trip.”

Then ‘they’ can whine about disrupting THEIR live to have to pick the kid up.

Why not have the kid stay at school and spend the day in ‘study hall’ doing home work or other projects???

Seem to recall (even before MY time) there was a time when in Boot Camp the smokers got a break once in a great while.
The non smokers were expected to carry on with what chores they were doing.

Must have been a tobacco Company idea as the number of smokers ‘grew’ each break time.....

Precisely my point. If they want to buck the trend, they should be the one who "pay" for it. Why should the taxpayers be inconvenienced and forced to babysit their child because some whiner doesn't like the consequences of their own actions.
