I enjoy the days off. I understand its a nightmares for families who dont have flexible schedules but for us, it's quite nice. Our weekends are packed with sports and religious school so a day off without other activities scheduled is nice. Plus I love that our friends who celebrate less common religious holidays don't have to worry about missing days/material and feel appreciated and included. Its a win-win.

Sad that you don't want your kids to get a top notch education!

This calendar is an embarrassment. I’m positive if parents voted or even all residents, this absolutely wouldn’t have been chosen. Why is there no week long fall break? Or a spring break separate from Easter?

Why are there no 5 day school weeks between now and November 10th???

Parents need to pressure the School Board to change this!

The school board needs to reign in the superintendent. These terrible calendars have been released by her office, through the 2027-2028 school year, without any input. There is no longer a calendar committee and she has clearly stated that she doesn't want one.

The 26-27 and 27-28 calendars are significantly improved from the abomination this year IMO.

How are they "improved"? 26/27 is just as bad as this year!

It’s what this site does best. Posters who haven’t been in the classroom since they were in high school themselves like to tell teachers how easy the job is.

I keep hoping the loudest voices bashing teachers are just a bitter few—people who, somewhere deep down, know they couldn’t do what teachers do. I want to believe that their cruelty is a mask for their own inadequacy

Trust me. It’s not fringe noise. Part of it is that you don’t just do the job and get on with it. You act like being a teacher is the HARDEST job ever made. So of course people react like we do. It’s a hard job but so are a lot of jobs. You chose the job. Get on with it. Stop acting like you are basically the exact same as first responders or soldiers in combat. You are not. Get on with it and stop demanding we thank you for it.

I hear your frustration, and I agree that many jobs are difficult and deserve respect. But your message contains several assumptions that need unpacking.

First, no one is claiming that teaching is the “hardest job ever made” or that teachers are equivalent to soldiers or first responders. That’s a straw man argument—an exaggerated claim that no one actually made, used to dismiss the real concerns being raised. What many teachers do express is that the emotional, intellectual, and logistical demands of the profession are often misunderstood or minimized. That’s not self-aggrandizement—it’s advocacy.

Second, “You chose the job” is not a valid rebuttal to systemic challenges. Choosing a profession doesn’t mean forfeiting the right to speak about its realities. Nurses, firefighters, social workers, and yes, teachers—many of us choose roles that serve others. That choice doesn’t mean we should silently endure burnout, underfunding, or public disrespect.

Third, asking for recognition isn’t the same as demanding thanks. It’s about visibility. Teachers often absorb emotional labor, support students through trauma, adapt to shifting policies, and still show up with creativity and care. Acknowledging that isn’t performative—it’s honest.

So yes, we get on with it. But we also speak up. Because silence doesn’t serve students, and it doesn’t serve the profession.

Beautifully written. Thank you.

I will continue to speak up because that’s what needs to be done. Posters like the PP aren’t going to stop me from commenting on teacher-related posts. I’m the expert at my job; not that poster. I know what needs to be improved, and visibility is one way to get there.

And regardless of what that poster wants to believe, it is fringe noise. I’m confident DCUM’s obsessive teacher hate comes from just a few posters.

I saw it first hand at one of our school meetings. The Harris voters were crying and complaining waving the calendar around while hyperventilating. Bunch of antisemites driving around with their peeling Harris stickers still on their cars.
