How do you feel about schools getting closed for the World Series victory? If we make it ok to close for things like this, where do we draw the line? I think people fail to realize the impact missing school can have on kids.

Isn’t fishbowl for consultants?
Who let this person in 🤔

Former teacher and agree, the schools were in a pickle because kids were going to miss AND teachers were going to call in “sick”.

Why didn’t they do the parade this upcoming weekend instead? Surely more people could have attended and school wouldn’t have been a concern.

I’m not aware of a competing Veteran’s Day parade… veterans Friday, Astros Saturday?

Kids do the same number of mandated school days each year. When and how they occur is fungible. If that’s off for ice on the roads or fair day in most districts or a World Series parade then it doesn’t really matter. They don’t get less education. Your job as a teacher is to make sure of that.

Short notice from a childcare perspective is a different matter. It would have been better to say before the start of the series that if win the parade will be this day/time and these districts will be off. Give people and employers time to contingency plan.
