[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine businesses that insisted all workers be at their desk working hard until 5PM on December 24. That's what OP is expecting here. There are many reasons to have a light final week of the year. Students and staff are both burned out after 180+ days of regular lessons. Student attention spans are just about zero. What do you think they will retain over the summer if it's taught in early June? Don't kid yourself. Schools are also communities that need morale building to work well. Businesses will do off-site fun activities to buck up their workforce; schools have field days, parties, etc. The good privates make this a positive week to send the kids with a positive image of school and learning. Rapping their knuckles until the last second of the last day is just playing Scrooge. It's useless and pointless.[/quote] The BS at the end of the school year and before holidays has NOTHING to do with the children or morale or community building, etc. It’s just another manifestation of the degradation and decline in all service sectors over the last decade or so, especially since Covid. Nobody wants to work anymore (including teachers), which is why services suck nowadays. 30 years ago, schools operated normally until the last day or so of school. This phenomenon of goofing off the last 1-2 weeks is new. [/quote]
