[quote=Anonymous]The standard says 990 hrs. Period. It says you cannot count recess and lunch as instructional time. This is not about whether kids need 990 hrs. or whether they need more recess or a longer winter break or even whether they need full day Mondays. It's a matter of FCPS being legitimate/honest when they calculate the amount of time they are providing instruction. The state says it must be 990. Whether you think that is a valid standard... it is still the requirement. If FCPS is fudging the numbers, then that is a problem and we, as tax-payers, parents, education-consumers, are entitled to receive the full 990. If you don't want your kid to have 990 (they you can keep your kid at home on any given day).... but for those of us who want the bare minimum of instruction -- 990 hrs. of instruction should be provided.... not 940 or whatever.[/quote]
