From the stand point of a non-primary Custodial Parent. With me living in Cherokee County and my teens living in Cobb this will only mean they are un – supervised for 2 extra weeks and 2 weeks I will not have a chance to “visit” my teens that I presently get to “visit” 4 days a month and on Holidays every other year if their mom doesn’t change her mind and decide I can’t see them then either. I see no difference as far as child care goes still same amount of days at school and same amount of days off only different times ? whether it’s this week off or 2 weeks from now what is the difference ? The old school argument was after a break the teachers had to take another week to get the students back into the old routine of regular class room activities.

David: I think having a shorter summer and a couple of longer breaks during the school year will be easier to arrange for childcare. Childcare is always a challenge, but this seems to streamline it a little by making the breaks longer amounts of time versus a few days here and there. Those have always been harder for me to plan for. I generally try to take time off when my child is out of school on short breaks, but summer is a bit harder to “work” around.

Ms. Flammer,
Please elaborate on how the new schedule “makes alot of sense and may make planning child care easier overall.”
We’d really like to know because, at present, we are very frustrated with the change because we don’t know who will watch our kids during during those two weeks when we will be at work. Specifically, how are you planning on managing your child?

This is really interesting. I wish my child’s school had this schedule. It makes a lot of sense and may make planning child care easier overall. I love the idea of being finished before Memorial day! What is the feedback from Cobb County residents?
