[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does this even mean? What happens on "professional days"? My kids are barely getting any instruction as it is. Do we really need to cancel yet another day of school for a "professional day"? Can't they have their professional days during the six hours per day that my kids aren't in school? [/quote] Teachers get training on how to deal with parents who have no clue about how education works or the best methods to teach YOUR kid. I agree that it seems tedious right now but this is how the sausage is made. In normal years we have one day a month, and teachers do training while someone else is in charge of your kid. The Wed off for kids (technically they should be doing self study) was for the schools to be cleaned. Now teachers do planning, call us back, email us, etc and do professional development. most school districts even IPL ones are doing this - the days vary. Fairfax is on Mondays[/quote]
