#216: - Where are all the working parents? 

 I am a working parent and so is my husband.  The balanced calendar allows us time to vacation with our children and send them to friends or families houses.  It gives them a break from school, so we can make these types of plans.  Finding a place for my child for a week is much easier (and affordable) than finding a place for 3 months!  Last year we took a vacation that we had already planned and got a call from the school social worker for missing school.  Coming down on families for time off in a year where the balanced calendar was removed AFTER BEING APPROVED is ridiculous!
