[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last year my kids ES didn't have enough teachers or subs, so they put different grades in AP room or Gym together and did games, activities and movies. If you need free daycare, send them. Otherwise, time could be better spent doing something else. [/quote]

High school teacher here - at a W school - I think we had two or three half days added last year.  During that period where those days fell into the following week, the highest number of kids I had in any one of my classes was five.  Each of my five classes has at least 30 students enrolled.  The days were and will be pointless.[/quote]

Did they take attendance? [/quote]

We did input attendance into the system, as usual.  But I honestly do not think it mattered one bit.  For example, if a student hit the ten consecutive day mark during that period, I cannot imagine that it was a blip on the radar let alone that it triggered an un-enrollment.  They ended the marking period the week prior to those days and we weren't allowed to even give assignments that counted. We did absolutely nothing but chat a bit.  I know people on this forum suggest that teachers are lazy that week or whatever, but truly there is nothing at all to be accomplished in such a situation.  A few people put in the time for those who (rightfully and justifiably) aren't there, and we check off a needless box.  [/quote]
