Could it be able to come, not care, for the parents working two jobs?
No, we usually knew who worked two jobs, and that was rarely a reason not to come. There were alternate times when these parents could come and they didn't do that either. Some parents who had two jobs did show up in between, and guidance gave them a note telling the employer they were at a guidance conference. It was the rare employer who didn't allow that! (Those were among the 10%.)
