[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And how they said they would have money to fund it from the county but they did not.[/quote]

This is a huge problem that many are not understanding or caring about.  They were not able to fund this.  And we have an even bigger shortfall this upcoming year.

I personally liked the half day Mondays.  That gave my child the chance to recharge a little, keep a consistent schedule (relatively speaking compared to this year), and if we needed it we could do dr. appts. and so forth w/o taking her out of school.  Plus, sometimes I would sneak home early.  Some of us actually like to be with our kids (I say that half in jest). I also don't like how this was pushed through so quickly as if it were pre-ordained.)

I think FCPS has it's priorities screwed up.  None of these schools should be starting before 8 a.m. PERIOD. I went to a strict parochial school growing up and even we didn't start until 8:00. Heck, there are adults in my office whose regular schedule does not start until 10:00 a.m. Transportation should be figured out to make that happen.  Even if it costs more, you can take from other places (and we will all disagree with what those are).

I can appreciate that Garza is a decisive woman.  Unfortunately, her actual decisions are not popular with a lot of people. Me included.[/quote]
