[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You people who advocate for year round school live in fantasy land. Are you willing to go become a teacher?! They can’t even get enough teachers for summer school what makes you think they want to teach year round? Teachers love summer! [/quote]

I'm the poster who expressed my desire for year-round school upthread a bit.  I actually am a teacher in FCPS.  Teachers love breaks, [b]not necessarily long summers.[/b]  With my proposed schedule, students would still be in school for 180 days (and teachers for 194 days). [/quote]

I know a lot of teachers, between those who my kid has and friends and family . . . I don't know a single one who does not want a long summer break. Not 1. [/quote]

Hi, middle school teacher here. I don't want a long break. I'd rather multiple, short breaks throughout the year. [/quote]

+1. Also a MS teacher and have kids. I would prefer a significant summer break, but like 4 or 5 weeks and then some longer quarter/semester breaks. I think it would be more manageable from both a teacher and parent standpoint. I used to think I needed all summer to recharge, but in reality, those first few weeks of August are always miserably hot and humid and I spend them anxiously awaiting the new school year. I’d love to get out of school at the end of May, have the month of June (when the weather is often nice) and a little of July, and then head back. [/quote]

I really like this idea, except I'd prefer more of July off. [/quote]
