| Why is there another teacher work day just after having two for the end of quarter? |

Because we have to take off for... Lunar New Year. Most Asian parents value education and want their kids in school, so this one is real puzzler. Gotta be woke though. |

They just had an entire week off. |

Ah yes, because they definitely knew we’d have a snow week when they approved this calendar two years ago. |

Regardless of the snow west had two teachers work days. |

| Because FCPS doesn't value education. Case in point people wanting a delay because of the Super Bowl after weeks of time off. No one has rested enough. |

FYI- those weren’t both workdays- there was one teacher training day which leaves no time for actual work and then one teacher work day for grading at end of the quarter. The next teacher work day is for planning quarter 3. If you’re confused OP, check the official calendar. |

Maybe the calendar shouldn't have unnecessary holidays during a time of the year known to have weather closures. |

It’s astounding how many posters here love to pick on teachers. |

That’s two weeks into the third quarter |

I completely agree. And Lunar New Year is not even a thing here in America. We asians want our kids in school, not taking an unnecessary day off for a holiday that we don't celebrate here in our country. It is a performative day off forced on all of FCPS by woke warriors. If they bothered to ask any of us asians about it, 99.9999% of us would have said to keep the kids in school that day. |
