Reply to comment by patchworkskye in Should NJ Students Get 'Mental Health Days'? by greenhousecrtv

We did this too with both our children. School is a lot more intense than it was we were in school. And if you can’t get sympathy from your parents what kind of world is it?

My folks always gave us a free day pass from school, once per year. It ended up keeping us in school more!

But today? Kids are under a lot more pressure, this is a fact. My kids were learning Jr high subjects in the 4th grade. Couple that with the massive stress of social media? Maybe we should slow down a bit and let them chill.
