[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a fed. Teacher work days on federal holidays works best for me since I'm already off. The other random days either require me to burn leave or pay $$$ for some camp. I hate it. [/quote]

I’m a teacher. I want holidays, too. And no, I don’t get paid time off in the summer.[/quote]

+1 these parents are nuts. It’s all about what’s best for them and their work schedule and no thought whatsoever as to what teachers need. [b]I hope Reid continues to offer 4 day weeks. It really helps.[/b] [/quote]

I highly doubt you are a teacher. Teachers absolutely need more work days, but I don't know a single one that thought this year's calendar was helpful.[/quote]

From what I've heard, elementary school teachers didn't like it. At the secondary level though, my colleagues and I largely loved it.[/quote]

+1 I’m the PP who said I hope we continue 4 day weeks. I’m not a troll. It’s funny how the second someone disagrees with them, they are called a troll. I’m the parent of a high schooler. We loved the days off. My child got extra sleep and was able to keep up and not have to spend every waking weekend working to stay afloat. [/quote]

I am a parent of high schoolers and I think people like you are absolutely lazy.  If your kids can't keep up, then try signing them up for less. We don't need 4 day school just because your snowflake needs sleep!!!![/quote]

I could care less what you think! We looked forward to the days off and extra sleep and it was bliss! My child still had a great year educationally and learned the same amount. I hope they do not change the calendar. So many people I know were grateful for the extra sleep (especially middle school families). It was truly a gift. [/quote]

See, every family is different. My MS child thought the schedule was awful and would have preferred fewer days off and getting out for summer earlier. He referred to the schedule as a joke most of the year. [/quote]
