[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]

You are absolutely ridiculous and rude. Go away. Be a parent. 4 day school weeks are a terrible idea for many reasons. No one cares that your kids need sleep.[/quote]

I responded in kind to the PP before me who said I needed to be parent and had a special child. And I’m the one who’s rude?

Being a parent means not whining about a calendar which suits plenty of people fine. You’re not so special that they will change it for you. lol. Now you go away. [/quote]

I’m a DP, but you’re getting very emotional over what comes down to basic realities. In an election year about affordability, the party in power has a chance to say their new policies have saved Fairfax parents (their constituents) hundreds of thousands of dollars in famously high childcare costs while not adding a dime to the FCPS budget. Thats why they’re doing it. It’s not because one poster is more special than the other.

And before you say but the teachers, many FCPS teachers do not live, and so do not vote, in Fairfax. All FCPS parents do.

Emotional?! You really can’t read tone in posts can you. I’m fine with 4 day weeks. That’s all I said and then I was told I needed to be a parent and my child was attacked even though I’ve never mentioned my child. I’m a newer poster that jumped late into the discussion. It’s more like the posters who wants 5 days are super cranky and emotional.[/quote]
