[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The religious holidays are here to stay. And so is the extra planning time for teachers. Deal with it.[/quote]

Cool, then hold school on Federal Holidays, that will help a good amount. It gives back 4 days and causes more complete weeks. easy fix. [/quote]

Will never happen hahahaha.

You’re just screwed I guess.[/quote]

It already happens— Columbus/Indigenous Is one of the TW days. Do the same for veterans and one of the Memorial days.[/quote]
Unless those days coincide with the end of a quarter (they don’t) turning them into TW will do nothing to improve the calendar unless they counted it as “planning time” in place of 3 hour early releases.

They need to align quarter breaks with holidays.

Quarter 1 usually ends the Friday before Election Day.

Quarter 2 could be timed around MLK or President’s Day.

[b]And detaching Spring Break from Easter and aligning it with the end of the third quarter could transition some H days to TW/SP days. [/b][/quote]

Omg. They already tried that and it was a total disaster. Are you for real??[/quote]
