[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so frustrating. So many families use the last 2-3 weeks to travel abroad for an early start on summer break. It translates into basically no instruction during this time. I wish teachers would still teach content since those families seem fine with the kids missing school.[/quote]no, no! For grades 1-8, the content is 💯 done in April. The SOLs are early May, so all the content must be taught prior to May. It’s been like this for years. This makes learning inefficient. Instruction is squished between mid-Sept to April with a lot of assessments and holidays in between. The teachers must rush through the disjointed standards that VDOE provides and the kids inefficiently learn knowledge as a result. Then come mid-May to mid-June the teachers fill the time with lousy projects, field trips, field day, concerts, movies, etc. [/quote]
