While picking up Pete from bornhave today, the director asked me if I had read the note that was left in Peter's cubby. I have found a pretty good Danish translation web page, but I was busy having coffee with a friend today and checking out her super cool pad... so no translating got done. It was probably better to hear the content of the note from the teacher anyway.
Turns out three *teachers* have a *conflict* with their pay, and will be going on strike tomorrow through next Friday, and possibly longer. The Kommune (the local government) decided which children would NOT be allowed to attend bornhave due to the lack of adequate staff. Pete is one of those kids.
My first thought is, bummer, not good timing. The more he is out of school, the harder it is for him to get back into the swing of things. My second thought is, do I get my money back? Or maybe... the government should pay me to stay home with my kid all day. Or maybe... Rich has some sort of time off allowance for things like this. Anything seems possible.
