[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its okay, it is one day, the schools are going to be 1/2 empty.[/quote]

Tell that to my 5th grader who has perfect attendance. We take school seriously in our house. We did what the county asked and left the week open for snow day make-ups. But I guess the families that blew it off, signed up for camps and vacations and then complained got what they wanted. Less school to have to deal with. It is really sad that more people are excited school is ending early than upset that the plan in place was pulled out and changed because...??[/quote]

Actually, people are more excited that there aren't going to be six extra days of wasted time tacked onto the end of the year, than worried about your fifth-grader who has perfect attendance. Which is not to say that you and your fifth-grader shouldn't be upset. But I don't think that MCPS and the State of Maryland should make their decisions based on their effect on a fifth-grader with perfect attendance (to date) and vacation plans on Easter Monday. Life is uncertain. Plans change. That's a good lesson for everybody to learn.[/quote]

By you saying the time is wasted just proved her point.

And it isn't about somebody's attendance. It is about having a plan and sticking with it. We all knew the contingency plan. Never was Easter Monday on it. [/quote]
