[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get it. People have been complaining about all the random holidays, weather delays and closures, early releases, and the answer is to shorten the calendar?[/quote] No learning occurs after May AP exams, SOLs, etc. School should end in early June, or Menorial Day weekend, and almost all of the religious cultural holidays should be eliminated. In particular, Chinese Lunar New Year, Eastern orthodox Christmas, Day of the Dead, and Diwali should be in school days.[/quote] This gets repeated all the time and it isn’t true. Fourth quarter is an entire quarter. There is a MONTH of school after SOLs and AP tests. Yes we are still learning and doing work and covering new material! I hate when parents pretend we are sitting around doing nothing for a month because they want to push some agenda, it makes no damn sense and is not true. -hs teacher [/quote] +1 ES Teacher[/quote]
