[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have had it with the FCPS calendar. The days off have gotten totally out off hand. At some point FCPS decided it need to celebrate EVERY possibly , religious and non religious holiday under the sun. 
It is out of control.

Throw in all the weather delays and closing and kids are never in school. I know, I know, but they still meet their hours and are above the VA standard. Sure, who cares when it come to elementary, but HS teachers, especially, those teaching AP classes plan their year around having a certain number of days of school, and given that most AP exams are early May they already have a condensed timeline. Elementary parents come back to the conversation with your kid in in HS and school actually matters. Why not have a higher bar and if there aren't weather related closing we get more instruction.

You are saying that the number of days that the kids attend school meet the required hours and are ABOVE the VA standard but yet the "kids are never in school". How can that be? Is your gripe to change the standard? Do you even know what you are b-tching about?[/quote]
