I actually agree with the poster of this thought. I’d have a fit if my children were to be subject to year round schooling. My children are not workers and nor are they academically behind. The one size fits all approach is not what we need. If the county wants to do all year round schooling for children who are behind fine but don’t try to make my children suffer. DH and I like to reward our children with travel and enriching learning experiences. What I don’t expect is my children to have to be in school year round nor do I want to consider that model. I’d be happy to follow a CT or MA school calendar model as they have too school districts in the country outranking even MoCo. Those districts start a week before Labor Day or after Labor Day, have all the holidays, a February mid winter break, Easter/Spring break and get out by June 25.[/quote]

MCPS is not proposing a year-round calendar. But if MCPS were, it would not be for the purpose of making your children suffer. MCPS does not -- and should not -- set its calendar to benefit or harm your children, or my children, or the particular children of any particular person. If that's too one-size-fits-all for you, or if you require three continuous months of summer vacation in order to be able to reward your children with travel and enriching learning experiences, then I suggest that you consider home-schooling.[/quote]

+1  So many drama llamas on this thread.  We can't even get a school year that extends past June 15 so we could have a proper spring break thanks to Governor Hogan's dictates.  Somehow I don't think the extended school year is coming anytime soon.[/quote]
