It makes no sense to a working custodial parent. Forget summer vacations because we spend most of our vacation days during the school year as more and more holidays and teacher workdays are added to the school calendar.

Or even worse, the child is left at home alone and concerned parents constantly call home or are disrupted with numerous phone calls. We live in a state where agriculture is a major industry.
