Back to School but it is not long
The weather was pleasant often. But at least in my little house, four great figures trampling each other within 10 days of patience is worn.You could hear a collective oath when email arrives to remind parents of my daughter's preschool co-op, which should "enjoy" on Monday as a holiday, too.We can not say what I say, not as their parents. I'm just saying ...(See the recent review of Petula Dvorak complex parents about their feelings have been here.)A mixture of feelings, which are recorded Dvorak (the vast majority of parents said they would still have children if they could do it again and again), and that many of us feel in these days of winter, I recalled to draw attention to a 2008 study that argued, parents have more depression and emotional distress than non-parents.As reported in the American Sociological Association "Contexts" was considered innovative because it left "in the face of our cultural dogma which proclaims that it is impossible for people to achieve compliance with an emotional and a healthy life if they become parents. "What has been lost in much of the coverage is that the author and sociologist Robin Simon, said that children do not always overwhelmed parents, but the lack of institutional support for parents.This brings me back to the school holidays. Or, more specifically, the school calendar.In theory, school holidays (and teacher conference days and teacher enrichment days) is a needed break for teachers and a great opportunity for all unstructured time. In practice, exercise almost every week of the parents fighting.During a break, I met two friends who work full time in Washington, demanding the kind of jobs and asked them how they managed to close all schools. Through a combination of models, some holidays and frustrating to work from home careers, they said.This is a typical and generally not available, or pleasure. For parents and children.There is some debate about the origin of the current school calendar. Really does not matter if it was designed in accordance with previous agricultural needs (such as President Obama said) or old elite or a means to earn a living from home the last century.The important thing is that no longer reflects the reality of working parents. The PDS calendar, counting four school closures and parole within the next seven weeks. This, after many of us have burned this weekend to host the winter break and continue to face extends through second-Monday-Spring Break in early April.The problem with trying to find viable alternatives to children in these frequent closures - alternatives that are not associated with parents working outside the home overwhelmed, or computer games in the office of a parent - is that the school calendar forany other working arrangement known to man. Passengers who are working other jobs are not immune from accidental firing early on the day of the meeting on Friday or Monday.Enter exception debates about school start times, classes throughout the year and day length (blog Greater Greater Washington public policy recently investigated this issue), the problem of excessive disruptions in the academic calendar can be easily remedied . May be a solution for the entire system failure involving school enrichment or alternative based on the game.In other words, the design of institutional support to the reality of modern parents. With it, parents tend to jump on the scale of happiness. The children would too. (Adults are not only those who crave structure and reliability.)And with some of the affordable, reliable and predictable choices, it might not be so long until the end of what was to be "broken."
