That decision is a little easier for those with older kids, too

For us, though, any time not in school is going to be in daycare. So what's the point of only doing two days of school and exposure there if he's going to be in daycare the other days and exposed THERE? Insane.

Allegedly Fairfax County is considering offering teachers with school-age kids the ability to have their kids in school four days instead of just two. I bet the kids would LOVE that! And what, the kid listens to the same lessons two days in a row??
