[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question. Does the calendar actually significantly impact anyone’s child’s learning? My 2nd grader has the same experience no matter how many schooldays there are in a week. She doesn’t have a great teacher. I don’t think she would have a better learning experience with more days in the class. It’s just how the school and the particular grade is setup. Older kid also didn’t have a great learning experience in that grade even when there were more school days. My older ES kid now has a rigorous school workload including projects that are assigned every couple of weeks. The deadlines don’t get extended for days off. Kid is still doing schoolwork on those days. The class doesn’t seem to need a refresher on what was just learned when they return to class. But she has a strong teacher who holds the class to high expectations.[/quote]

Posts here from SE teachers about their classrooms suggest yes.[/quote]

Makes sense. FCPS generally needs to give better support to special ed. Are there significant detrimental impacts to gen ed students?[/quote]
