[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before you pull them, I'd encourage you to check the public school calendar where you live.

I don't know if all the additional non-Christian holidays will remain in the calendar under the new federal regime, but between those and the many half days and teacher workdays and more traditional days off, there is always lots of complaining from FCPS and APS families about the amount of days off.  Our kids always jokingly said "No school November" was a thing.  [/quote]

OP here. Fair enough, but trust me that our Catholic school has MORE than its fair share of BS “teacher work” days, half days, etc too.  So I suspect it’s a wash with FCPS.

My bigger concern is that even when they’re IN school, they’re often not doing “school” things — instead, they’re handing out flowers, marching/walking for some affinity group, attending  assemblies, celebrating some esoteric “feast” that even the Pope probably hadn’t heard of, etc. [/quote]
It sounds like you’re pretty fed up with the situation, so it’s probably reasonable to start looking elsewhere. [/quote]
