[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s take a breath and understand that it will be what it will be! It is what it is.

Parents should let their kids navigate the process by themselves. Put your helicopters in their hangers.

Try to put yourself in the minds of the administrators, counselors and teachers who are still figuring out conflicts and other issues with the master.

How do I know? Parent of three, grandparent of 10 and FCPS teacher for over three decades. The kid who learns to self advocate will be a success! [/quote]

FCPS hides them until 6 am the day of orientation annd only one day before the weekend. It’s absolutely ridiculous. They should release them Monday so kids can compare and everyone can check for errors before school starts. [/quote]

If they have schedules complete, they should be visible so the kids can check for mistakes and the counselors can fix their errors before school starts. Really, its absurd. [/quote]

They are still enrolling students and in some cases hiring teachers.

Parents bothering them all this week and swamping the office staff with calls when they are trying to get the year on track, just so they complain about getting the math teacher that they heard grades to hard or because their kid wants the cool science teacher instead of the old boring one will only slow things down and throw a monkey wrench in the back to school operation

Your kids are closer to college than kindergarten, and closer to having babies than being babies.  [b]They are fully capable of meeting with the counsellr the first week to correct any mistakes in their schedules.

Thursday is plenty of time to get your kids schedule.[/quote]

There shouldn't be any mistakes. How do mistakes happen?[/quote]

There have been mistakes since the dawn of time. Computers spit these things out and when there’s a conflict or something that needs to be overrided by a counselor it just leaves things off or inserts something that is incorrect.  My mom was a guidance counselor years ago and she would sit at home in August (after school and on weekends) and adjust the schedules with the main master schedule. There’s hundreds of students and things conflict. And things change over the summer, from teacher assignments to student requests. They are working on it. Really. They don’t become counselors just to annoy you and give you a bad schedule. [/quote]
