[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This coming Monday is off because it aligns with the end of the term. Teachers always get the day after the end of the term for data entry and grading. Why they needed the PD last week instead of just the 3 day weekend for MLK I don’t know.[/quote] What is the reason for sprinkling PD days throughout the year anyway? Is there any reason they can't just do a week of PD at the beginning or end of the year and reduce the number of random days off during the year? Is there even a reason for this number of PD days? It doesn't sound like teachers get a whole lot out of these days, based on conversations with them. It sounds like they are mostly meaningless trainings done via Zoom. I understand giving teachers non-instructional days so they can submit grades and end of term paperwork. That makes sense. I don't get needing to keep kids out of school every other week so teachers can do Zoom trainings they don't get anything out of.[/quote]
