You badly overestimate the technical chops of the parent-guardian cohort and underestimate the practicality of a printable PDF with key dates.

- albert_e 2y agoThis is not either/or. We can have both. Any organization in 2024 creating a calendar that impacts 500-1000 people should have the awareness that people use digital calendars / apps too. They should make an effort to publish both PDF and ical. Since that has yet to catch on in many places -- including the HR departments of large enterprises that publish holiday calendars and the like -- these alternatives ideas are explored. Once we have the right tools ... It just takes one tech-savvy parent to do this 10 minute exercise and publish an online calendar that other busy parents can subscribe to.
- bronco21016 2y agoAgreed. If my child’s elementary school can manage, then most larger organized activities should be able to manage as well. I’m thinking along the lines of like organized rec athletic leagues, organized after school activities. Etc. I do find that most of these do provide some method of getting a calendar link but we’re not quite to 100% yet.
