Pro-D Days should be scheduled on existing time off

Dear Editor:

I fully support professional development for teachers. Why can’t we schedule these during the two-week spring break, the two-week Christmas break or the nine-week summer break?

Working parents (those who aren’t teachers) get four weeks off a year. Typically we need to use vacation time to care for kids during these PD days.

Guess I am a bit tired of working my schedule around teachers … and it would be a nice gesture to gain some public credibility after the latest strike.
