Starting today kids are home for the week.
The teacher are on strike tuesday, wednesday, and thursday. Then on Friday it's a PED day.
So yeah they have most of the week off.
I know my kids aren't complaining. And I can't say I blame them.
It gives me a bit of a brake from doing lunches and school drop offs.

Teachers in our country (from just a few states) went on strike not too long ago. I hope the strike in your area ends soon.
Schools have this week off for Thanksgiving, although some public schools only let off for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Maybe you can get them to do the "holiday baking" for you. Or at least their homework.

@BarBaraPrz For the moment, no, but that can easily change.

Kids in the US will start Thanksgiving holiday on Wednesday or have a half-day on Wednesday and be off Thursday and Friday...
Why are the teachers on strike there?

Kids in the US will have a couple of days off for Thanksgiving. Are the teachers striking for better pay? Have a great day.

I hope the teachers strike doesn't last too long but I'm sure the kids are happy to be home for the week.

@dodo19 We usually make fun here and say ,when you are a parent its like you got back to school again only that you don't step in the classrooms.

That sounds pretty convenient for the teachers. It must be difficult for some parents to manage these extra no-school days.
