[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, love the non-5 day weeks. They are great. Summer is such a pain to plan, and we (and most of our friends) much prefer a day here and there, rather than additional weeks in the summer. [/quote]

I agree! We love the 4 day weeks! It really helps with the sleep for middle and high schoolers.[/quote]

Time to be a parent.  The entire school system doesn't operate around the needs of your special child. [/quote]

And it doesn’t operate around your need for a 5 day week. As long as the kids get in the required hours of instructional time I do not care. I prefer the 4 day weeks and so do a lot of parents and teachers. Your whining isn’t going to change that. Time to be a parent and deal with it.[/quote]

Are they getting sufficient instructional time? I’m sure by FCPS’s calculations and fudging the numbers they are. But is it really the case that our students are getting enough instruction before SOL’s and AP testing? I don’t know. Regarding test scores, a lot can be obfuscated in wealthier areas where a lot of people do private tutoring outside of school. [/quote]
