Short Spring Break

[Anonymous]

Mcea cannot bargain or negotiate the calendar. Additionally Passover and Easter fall such that they cannot reasonably take days from spring break

A. parents who want to “punish” teachers for having had snow days
B. parents who want their kids out of their house at all costs

C. $2 million

Totally agree.

That’s a pretty stupid set of options. Do you think the only students that matter or that exist in MCPS are the ones who take AP exams?

And in fact AP exams are in May, so they always are over well over the end of the school year.

It’s pretty sad to me that it doesn’t even occur to you that parents might actually care about students having instructional time to their kids can learn.

I hope you’re not a teacher because you shouldn’t be near kids with that level of brain power and bad attitude.

Tell me with all your big brains what kids will learn in the last 2 days of school.

Tell me with your big brain why the MCPS union blocked the use of April 15 as a makeup day when they had already agreed to have it on the official calendar.

Because the rules are different now. As of 2024, Maryland no longer permits asynchronous days.
