Ask:
Last week I was saying how I thought it was weird that the elementary did not have school, but the Jr High did. They are doing it again this Friday!!! That is 2 fridays in a row that my boys are off, but my daughter has school. She is not happy about this
Answer:
In our district, our Elementary schools are on the traditional 9 week quarter system but the middle school and high school have switched to 'trimesters'. This means that the older and younger kids have a lot of different days off. It's kind of a pain since I can't hire older kids to watch my DS when he's out of school like I used to. It would be bad too with more than 1 child since you couldn't plan much for when 1 was in school and 1 was out. What a pain!
