Why can’t parents look at the term dates for DC schools

Schools here, broke up yesterday. Today on the way to shopping, I saw about 4 sets of kids and parents with children wearing school uniforms. I have friends who have DC attend these schools (2 schools) and there are no day trips or classes today.

My friends knew the term dates as on parents pages and WhatsApp groups

If this is the sort of thing that impacts your life you've got far bigger issues than a few forgetful parents

you sound very horrible and judgmental OP

I'm sure they can look up term dates, but they're probably also affected by human fallibility.

Have you ever made a small admin error OP? Or are you one of the lucky ones who is immune from ever having made a mistake?

I would feel sorry for them rather than bitter about it OP.

They clearly aren’t having a great day!
