Stat hoildays??

[treeholm]

I charge for stats, but not for the four weeks I close for my vacation. This is standard in my area, so parents don't tend to question it. In any case, it's in the contract they sign, so if they don't agree with it, they don't have to go with me. They can go elsewhere if they don't like my terms. I certainly wouldn't accept someone trying to change the terms of a signed contract after the fact. And if they had a bad experience elsewhere, I would be sympathetic, but I don't understand why I would have to subsidize that person's bad experience by contributing my own income to their family????
