[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just up the student holidays. Ridiculous! Sorry,  but we don’t need off for every religious holiday. Give them a fall break, winter break, February break and spring break, like other secular countries. And, let them out two weeks earlier in June. It has to be impossible to teach with all the sporadic days off.[/quote]

Nope! I use every single one of those “days off” to grade and catch up. It’s hard to get planning and grading done in the 45 minutes a day I get to prep. Those “days off” make me a better teacher. [/quote]

Give me a break.  Grade?  I get it for HS but ES gets nothing to "grade" .  The whole system is a joke.[/quote]

I don’t teach in FCPS, but have kids here. I teach in a different district. That said, we use the same system for report cards and it is the most awful backwards software you have seen since color monitors.  Seriously we can’t even see which kids we are typing in or which standard. It is just a row of drop down arrows and you have to count up from the bottom to see which kid you are entering. They dont know how to freeze the name column.  According to the tech department “many teachers have complained” but there you go.  
Yes, I need an entire day because the software is just. That. Bad.
