[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, love the non-5 day weeks. They are great. Summer is such a pain to plan, and we (and most of our friends) much prefer a day here and there, rather than additional weeks in the summer. [/quote]

I agree! We love the 4 day weeks! It really helps with the sleep for middle and high schoolers.[/quote]

Time to be a parent.  The entire school system doesn't operate around the needs of your special child. [/quote]

And it doesn’t operate around your need for a 5 day week. As long as the kids get in the required hours of instructional time I do not care. I prefer the 4 day weeks and so do a lot of parents and teachers. Your whining isn’t going to change that. Time to be a parent and deal with it.[/quote]

The vast majority of kids need a 5 day school week. I don't know of any parent that prefers a 4 day week, seriously, no one I know wants a 4 day school week. It is awful for working parents and most families in the US have working parents.

The 5 day week provides stability and consistency that is needed by all kids, even HS students. If your kid is so overwhelmed with the homework in their schedule, look at altering their schedule so it is less intense. Be a parent. Stop whining about your kid needing to study for classes that you allowed them to take or even encouraged them to take.[/quote]

But the current, approved, calendar works great for me. Sorry, I’m not the one whining, you are. I’m good with things as is. [/quote]

Because you're an entitled, privileged brat with lazy kids.[/quote]

Sorry you can’t handle the children you chose to bring into the world when there is no school. Sad.[/quote]

Sorry you can't think about anyone but what works for you.[/quote]
