[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Counterpoint: we should stop bickering about religious holidays and random Fridays and reckon with the reality that kids need more than 180 days in school. Especially after the disaster of the past two years. Kids are way behind and its going to take more than cheerful press releases from Gatehouse to catch them up.

FCPS should use federal funds to renegotiate teacher contracts and get kids in seats for at least 200 days/year. [/quote]

Will never, ever happen.[/quote]they aren’t even using the 180 days well. For first 2 weeks at our elementary, it is just team building and stay in homeroom. For week 3, they just begin to switch classes and learn new routines with brand new teachers.  No real instructions or lessons have started and it’s Week 4. The past 3 weeks have been a waste of time.  They should have used that time for review of last year material or time to fill in a gap. They don’t teach cursive or even penmenship. They have skipped other topics in the recent years due to Covid yet no plan is used to fill in those gaps. Moreover, the workshop model is not good for all types of learners.  It’s a shame, but I can see why test results dropped. [/quote]

Don't forget after SOLs, it suddenly becomes movies, assemblies and extra recess for the last month of school.[/quote]
