[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New to TJ... What are the steps to try to get this stupid policy changed (politely or otherwise)? Emails to Dr B, emails to school board (I’m new to FCPS, so not sure they care?), or other? I can appreciate a free for all may be a headache, but I would think we could find a happy middle ground (maybe setting an August 1 deadline for requests, creating a form for requests so they are easier to process, requiring a reason for the request, etc)?[/quote] Dr. B is an airhead. I don't think she can change anyone's behavior at TJ. One of her big "push" areas was to reduce workload for the kids. A year later, she's introducing some new age crap thingy along the lines of "enjoying the experience and not worry about grades" and runs a book club for the parents. Nothing has changed at TJ. My sophomore had a ton of homework over the 4-day weekend (at the end of the quarter) and a test on the day he went back (or maybe on Thursday). [/quote]
