[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one wants to start school in the middle of summer. That's not a thing here. [/quote]

It's perfectly feasible to start school the last week of August and end the first week of June. [/quote]

Yes, but the majority of parents do not want a 12 week summer. [/quote]

[b]Actually, most parents want a 12 week summer.[/b]

Only a few want short summers or year round school.[/quote]

[b]I actually do not think you are correct in this statement[/b] about FCPS parents. From what data are you basing your claim?[/quote]

Do you have data to show otherwise? Is there data that supports either claim?[/quote]

Yes, the data from that FCPS calendar survey from about 10 years ago supports the claim that most people do not want a 12 week summer. In that survey, the results showed that the majority of people wanted a 2 week winter break, a week-long spring break, 3 days at Thanksgiving, and starting school 2 weeks before Labor Day (with a subsequently shorter summer).[/quote]

You left off ending school in early june like we were promised when they moved the start to mid August.[/quote]
