Why isn't anyone asking the question "why did they schedule this on a school day?" and also "why are people taking their children out of school for this?" There are loads of Fall showcases that are NOT on a school day. So why go to this one?
Awesome point. Is the answer related to the primary organizers being aligned with private schools that have that day off? Public schools be damned.
If by private schools you are referring to Kellenberg, Chaminade and St. Anthony's, all three have classes on the 26th. So it's clearly not a public vs private issue.
Well then. I guess its just a misguided assumption on the part of the money grabbers that missing classes that day is more tolerable than any other day. And don't be so narrow in your definition of private schools - The folks running the 175 are aligned with the prep schools that all have that entire week off leading up to Thanksgiving. This is clearly geared towards those kids.
Bottom line is that kids are hurt by this. The timing is disgraceful to all involved.
