[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was a kid, summer was two weeks longer.  I don't remember teachers packing up towards the end of the school year, and I would have to believe that maybe they let school out early & then paid the teachers to stay over and clean out their classrooms and submit their grades.  Now, in their wisdom, DCPS has decided that the school year needs to be 14 days longer, but they don't extend the teachers' admin time.  So the last two weeks of school becomes admin time.  No the teachers can't take our kids out all day.  They need to stay in and pack. Newsflash: extending the school year didn't improve test scores.  It just makes the kids unteachable.

so, write off the last two weeks of school.  It's not like it used to exist anyway.  Hey, it's cheaper than summer camp[/quote]

This thread makes me hate DC parents even more than I did before I read it. (And, no, not a dcps employee.) [/quote]

Are you a DC parent? That would be ironic.[/quote]

Yes. And one increasingly wishing I was not.

I keep wondering how far we'd have to go outside the DMV ring to escape this relentless striver snob culture.[/quote]

I sit here laughing my highly ivy educated ass off at the parents trying so hard to seem above it all--when I know the reality to be that if you've really got it that good and you're so above the teachers and DC school system, you put your kids in private or go to the 'burbs and live your life. You don't whine and grovel at Henderson's feet to be loved and catered to. You take your privileged kids and LEAVE![/quote]

Ivy Tech Community College? You misspelled high.[/quote]
