[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the many reasons we picked our preschool was that it didn't follow Fairfax Cty. The year we were at a school that did, my kid was out of school almost as much as he was in, between holidays, teacher workdays, vacation days, and snow days or delays. It was nonsense. Now we're at a school that follows the federal government for snow stuff and has federal holidays off, reasonable vacation breaks (our old school had 3.5 weeks at Christmas and 2 for spring break!). I felt so cheated at the old school--why does a preschool teacher need the same teacher workdays off as Fairfax?! They weren't at school doing anything --it was just a day off.[/quote]

Former preschool teacher here, who would write mid year assessments at home on teacher workdays or they would schedule in-service training sessions. Just because it is preschool doesn't mean we don't have work to do outside of school or during teacher workdays...

The reason pre-schools and other small private schools like to follow the county is so they don't have to hear about it when they make the wrong call. YOU parents will complain no matter what happens so they might as well pass the buck and save themselves the heartache.
