I love that the bar is the bare minimum. Missing days, especially at the end of the year before finals and AP exams definitely has an impact.

They really need to do away with the religious holidays. [/quote]

You really wanted to regurgitate your "the bar is the bare minimum" line you've said on DOZENS of FCPS post so badly that you're willing to use it even when it doesn't make sense.

This is FCPS saying that they're [b]still [/b]SURPASSING/EXCEEDING/DOING MORE THAN the minimum of hours.

So yes, like everything else with a numerically based legal obligation, they're referencing the number they must meet. If they were doing the bare minimum, they would've said:

"FCPS will now be meeting the exact number of required number of instructional hours for students, as set by the Virginia Department of Education."

But they didn't say that. You just wished they did. [/quote]

NP-you're really arguing semantics and I agree with the prior poster. FCPS is only meeting a very low bar and they are doing the bare minimum. Nothing you say will convince me otherwise.[/quote]

Semantics? Words have specific meaning. Perhaps a lack of understanding of the definition of "bare minimum" is a more accurate argument for you to try and use.

Fairfax County Public Schools EXCEEDING the amount of required hours, by definition, is doing MORE than the "bare minimum". [/quote]

You thinking FCPS is doing a good job at education children became of a stupidly low hourly requirement is an actual joke. [/quote]

No one said or implied that "FCPS is doing a good job at education children became of a stupidly low hourly requirement".

However, it is a fact that FCPS is doing more than the bare minimum that is mandated by the Virginia Department of Education.[/quote]

You're stupid.[/quote]

Well, this is mature. [/quote]
