[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents of younger kids whined about starting school earlier because they wanted to keep their cheap beach rentals in late August. Now they want to end earlier. Can’t have it both ways.[/quote] Here's an idea... let's not have a freaking 2 week winter break and a holiday for every little group that wants it to be "fair". Schools north of here go to school until 12/22 or 23 depending on the year. Fewer holidays = shorter school year. Trying to please everyone ends up pleasing no one. It is ridiculous to start 2 weeks before Labor Day and not end until mid-June.[/quote] This. The two week winter break mandate that came about several years ago is ridiculous. FCPS used to go to school right up until the 23rd. [/quote] What is the rationale for it? My kids are young so I don’t know the history. [/quote] People want to take vacations. It's stupid.[/quote]
