Oh they do... assuming they remembered to do it in February when all the spots got filled up. I've got mine in only 1 each this year. Two kids, five days... $800...
This is mostly why I'm a big proponent of full-year school. Spread out the breaks so they aren't so summer-loaded. We don't need kids to help with the crops anymore. Give them a 3-week break like spring, then send them back to the salt mines.
Yes, I acknowledge that I want the solution that fits my personal life situation best. I know teachers get fired up about being seen as glorified babysitters, but let's also consider that many parents aren't doing great and babysitting is perhaps the most important industry on the planet sometimes.
