[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would prefer if they shortened the school year. The lost days are gone. There is no productive way to add more days at the end of the year. It is just performative [/quote]

That would violate state law.[/quote]

True, but Maryland should change that as Virginia did.[/quote]

The reality is that lessons are based more on days than the number of hours. Eliminating days necessarily means missing lessons.[/quote]

I don’t mind that when we’re talking about snow days that have been spent, personally.  There’s not much value in tacking on to the end of the year and there are good reasons to respect teacher workdays.  I’m sure others will disagree.[/quote]

Then the alternative would extending the calendar from the start to avoid snow days leaving us below the minimum. But that isn't the path Taylor and the BoE took with next year's calendar. We only have one snow day built in. We should have 5 or 6.[/quote]

+1. Why did they go in the opposite direction of what we needed? Very frustrating.[/quote]
