This exactly. Makes me feel like a chump for working our vacation schedule around the school calendar. Not anymore. If they think that it's reasonable to close the schools at the drop of a hat and hold my kids out of school for a year or more while kids in just about every other state are back to near normal, then they can certainly work around my family and whatever whims we might have going forward.This is the way I feel. We ended up getting letters last year about how much time our 1st grader was missing due to vacations and illnesses. For the rest of his schooling I will be ignoring those letters after the Charlie Fox of a school year this year. At least he gets to go back full time starting Thursday.
And if the teacher's union EVER goes on strike again, they can be sure my kids will cross the picket line. The unions are the only ones spreading the fear that it can't be made safe - against just about every expert there is. Nope - they've burned that bridge.
EDIT TO ADD:
I am shocked at how many of you are saying teachers are not being bumped to the front of the line. On top of everything else in CA, teachers were moved to the front of the line right after emergency care personnel and assisted living FROM THE START! AND...we are still not back in person and the unions are fighting HS going back at all. Alternate universe...
