Would suggest you seek psychological support if that's the way you think. Or at least learn that many of these posts are traceable back to your IP address. These are legally required school days. Insulting parents for sending kids to school on days that are official school days makes you look like someone that no one would want to have responsibility for any kid.

You need to work on your reading comprehension.

Yes, we will take attendance because we are legally liable.

I anticipate most of my students will come to school the last two days as we are child care for most of our families. I want to do some fun STEAM activities with the kids the last two days. I love my kids so I'm going to enjoy the last few days with them in our classroom community.

No, you act like everyone else can just take two unpaid months off in the summer and then waltz back into their jobs in August. We cannot.

You cannot because your job/contrat is not a 10 months out of the year job/contract. I work 12 months of the year because that's what my job/contract requires of me.
-Not a teacher.

Yes, we agree that 10 month contracts are different from 12 month contracts. Thanks for sharing your recognition of that.

Then what's your beef with teachers having 2 unpaid months off?

They should have used 2 of the 3 designated makeup days and ended on June 13. Yes Maryland school day requirements are brutal like a bunch of the northeast states but there was still a way out of extending into June 16/17 and MCPS didn't utilize it!

Next year stands to have issues both in December and June due to how all the holidays fall and if there are 3+ snow or other emergency cancelations it will get really bad!

I'm in a neighboring county- what a terrible calendar choice! I got phone calls last week ensuring that my kids would be in school this week. My kids missed 6 days already this year. I was actually impressed that they hadn't been sick as much this year! The person who called wasn't amused though.

We have teachers still giving out new assignments as they didn’t do the right number early on.

Mcps employee here. Yes I will send my children to school. I think adding more days on at the end of the year was a bs decision but if I'm required to go to work then so are you.

Also I really do hope they take attendance so that maybe mcps can look at the low attendance numbers and make a data driven decision about adding more days on to the end of the year

The issue is the failure to plan for snow days and the refusal to go virtual. We should have five snow days minimum.

I hope you aren't an English teacher.

Churchill's principal has told students and parents explicitly not to come. The only students who are allowed to come on Tuesday are those who have fallen behind on their work and/or have meetings scheduled with teachers. (Monday was already a day reserved for 8th graders to orient to Churchill, so that was already scheduled as a day off for HS students.)

Good old parents trying to manipulate the system. It's important to teach your kids how to act like law abiding citizens. If not you get what we we now a days which is lawlessness.
