[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, the calendar situation in FCPS is absurd. I do not know why we have to go through this exercise every effing year. Why can't we just have a similar calendar every year, decided by Winter break or early Jan. so we know what we can plan for summer? This is NOT difficult and every year, no matter who is making the decision, it's a complete cluster.

Having said that, let's calm down about it being a "decline of FCPS." It's not. A) there is a LOOOOOOT of fluff in the school day. My honors/AP student in HS has so much that DC gets a big chunk of work done in the free time she has. Whether it's 177 v. 180 days, all 5 day weeks or a cobbled together version of a week, they're learning the same (Save for maybe end of year when SOLs and testing is done). and B) kids need to be able to function/pivot with a cobbled together schedule. That's life. I get the parents may not like it but if it's announced early enough, it simply does not matter as you have plenty of time to make arrangements.

I'm just so, so happy I only have 2 more years of this sh--.[/quote]

Also what people here don’t realize is that most counties don’t have a dedicated message board to agonize over this bs and most counties don’t give parents or teachers a choice.

This is a very transparent process and I’m going to be honest- I like knowing the options. Knowing the options really makes me understand how bad or worse it could be. [/quote]
