[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The waiver is a joke. My kid is in 4th grade. When he was in K, they had 9 snow days and 5 were excused. Then the next year they used the 4 planned days. The year after was like 2 days and I think last year was 0.

This year is 10. 5 are excused. The fact we are even making up ONE seems pretty incredible to me.

[b]The Teacher's Union contract desperately needs to be changed so they can make up snow days on teacher workdays.[/b] I also support removing President's Day as a holiday, as Fairfax does, as part of their contingency plan.

When should teachers find time to grade end of marking period tests, enter final grades, and complete quarterly updates for students with IEPs and 504 plans?
Maybe we should return to the school marm days? My great-grandmother taught back when teachers were not allowed to be married. Only single women, although the superintendent was always a married man. If you got married you had to resign. I always thought that this was because parents were afraid that kids might see a pregnant teacher and realize babies weren't brought by storks. However, DCUM comments make me realize its because teachers shouldn't have personal lives and should just spend all evening at the end of each marking period grading.[/quote]
