[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't they start after labor day?[/quote] So seniors can get started on their college apps. Most high schools around the country start earlier and our seniors need to be competitive.[/quote] Incorrect. Seniors can start their apps at the end of the junior year. And they do 95% of it it on their own, so being in school has very little to do with applications. Counselors have to send letters and transcripts, but that can be done early if you ask. Many kids do that for the small handful of schools with rolling admissions where early applications *really* matter. At other the schools it's definitely doable to start school later and make the EA and ED deadlines. They moved the school start date so they don't have "useless" days after AP, IB and SOL exams. And those days are useless because FCPS only cares about testing, not actual teaching.[/quote]
