[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't they start after labor day?[/quote]

Because AP parents complain that their kids don't have enough time to prepare for AP tests if we start after Labor Day.[/quote]

I really think it’s a wash for those kids. IIRC the common app gets released on 8/1. A post labor start would allow more time to work on the apps with no school and also visit college in session w/o missing school. 
There’s no academic reason to start earlier IMO. [/quote]

Wrong.

AP exams go through a set curriculum.  The test dates are a national schedule in May with no deviation.

Starting after labor day did not allow fcps to get through the entire AP curriculum in time for the tests.

There is no justification to start classes after labor day.  Most states in the country start before labor day and end in May or June.

Fcps needs to get with the times and asopt a schedule without all of these excessive short weeks and with a school schedule that mimics most of the rest of the country.[/quote]
