[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20 snow days built in?   If they fixed that, August 31 and get out June 11th is not a problem.   That is way more than needed.[/quote]

20 days? Ugh build in 10 and let us start late and begin early. Then add on days if we really need to.[/quote]

well, they could start counting "eat your lunch" as "instructional time" -- or perhaps they can start counting "when you get dressed in the morning in preparation for school" as "instructional time"  'cause that's about the same as what they magically counted as "instructional time" to get those XX snow days (or whatever).  They magically decided that walking from the bus to the classroom in the morning and from the classroom to the bus in the afternoon are now "instructional time" -- so voila!--- we have "built in" snow days and didn't make the calendar any longer!  Imagine that!!!

The "Built in" snow days are are farce.  They simply decided to not make up 10 or so days.  Your kids are getting less instruction than they were before the magical built in snow days were added about 5 yrs ago.  It's how our school board and superintendent lie to the public.  There is nothing "instructional" happening when someone walks to their classroom or out of the school at the end of the day... but those 20 min (10 in the morning that they count and 10 in the afternoon) add up to 100 min each week, and that adds up to XX magical built in snow days each year!

Thanks, school board![/quote]

Yup. This. But no one seems to care and if you complain about it you don't love your kid and just want the schools to provide child care. I mean, why should you care that they actually count instructional time as instructional time?[/quote]
