[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All public schools in MD have 180 days of school.  Not sure how your math is mathing.  
PG does they half days as asynchronous because it gives the teachers time to get caught up at the end of the quarter without having to babysit a bunch of kids who are there on a compressed schedule.

 I am listing out the total days closed from start to finish and comparing it to other counties. Look at the calendar and count it yourself.

AA has same start and end date.
Carroll starts 3rd not 26th and has the same end date so 5 days difference which was accounted for. 
HoCo starts same day, ends 2 days earlier.

And I realize that it sounds petty but [b]from the employer perspective [/b]there is a lot more grace given for "summer" or "winter break" or "spring break" vs having a random day off especially when their kids arent off.

And yes, virtual asynchronous is devious and should not be allowed. [/quote].

Listen, it's not easy, but it's what it is. What employer do you have that they're this inflexible? Also I always trade with other mom's of my kid's class - I'll take this random day off and you can send your kid over here, and vice versa. It takes a village.[/quote]

There are some camps that are open on the random asynchronous days if that would help you.  Although high schoolers are always happy to make money :)

They arent inflexible. I actually have a super flexible job- its just constantly taking pieces here and there is taxing. I have no leave left. Always kind of cobbling together. Unfortunately, I dont know what other parents do. SAHM dont want to switch, most have grandparents, and the other moms are still working while kids are at home has been my experience so they dont want another kid around.

And I do think that the virtual asynchronous days are whats contributing since its literally 180 days in school but 4 of those are at home when compared to other schools plus other half days which for ES are basically worthless since its 3 hours in school.

I think we will just need to find a HS kid in the same district and have them babysit. I just didnt realize how much coverage we would need outside federal holidays and the big breaks (winter/spring) where we use camps for some of the days. [/quote][/quote]
