Teacher work days on federal holidays works best for me since I'm already off. The other random days either require me to burn leave or pay $$$ for some camp. I hate it. [/quote]

I’m a teacher. I want holidays, too. And no, I don’t get paid time off in the summer.[/quote]

+1 these parents are nuts. It’s all about what’s best for them and their work schedule and no thought whatsoever as to what teachers need. [b]I hope Reid continues to offer 4 day weeks. It really helps.[/b] [/quote]

I highly doubt you are a teacher. Teachers absolutely need more work days, but I don't know a single one that thought this year's calendar was helpful.[/quote]

From what I've heard, elementary school teachers didn't like it. At the secondary level though, my colleagues and I largely loved it.[/quote]

+1 I’m the PP who said I hope we continue 4 day weeks. I’m not a troll. It’s funny how the second someone disagrees with them, they are called a troll. I’m the parent of a high schooler. We loved the days off. My child got extra sleep and was able to keep up and not have to spend every waking weekend working to stay afloat. [/quote]

So you are more or less advocating for year round school?[/quote]

Not at all! We like the extra day to sleep in and catch up on stuff. I look forward to weeks with early releases and holidays![/quote]

Learn to organize your life better.  No one wants to be in school now and sitting at home in January, February.[/quote]

We are very organized. We also very much  enjoyed the extra sleep and catch up days.

Year round school would have kids sitting at home for two weeks after every quarter. No thanks![/quote]

If you’re the poster who said in a normal schedule her daughter was working every waking hour just to stay afloat then no, you aren’t “very organized” [/quote]

My organization has nothing to do with how much work my child gets assigned. What a bizarre post! We liked having the extra days during the week so weekends were more relaxing with less work.[/quote]

If your child was struggling that much to keep up, [b]an organized parent [/b]makes an appointment with a doctor to evaluate. They don’t hope for a bad calendar. [/quote]

Sorry, that doesn’t make sense. Try “a concerned parent.”

I don’t have concerns. My child is a straight A student in high level classes. My child thinks they also made 5s on all their AP exams - the extra days off provided lots of study time! We loved it.[/quote]

Stop posting.  You're in the minority.  Again, most high school parents did not like the calendar. It was disruptive for everyone.  Attendance has been a problem. [/quote]

No, I won’t stop posting, especially when me and my child are insulted for liking the calendar. Not everyone hates it. Not everyone thought it was disruptive. I’m sorry you can’t handle a different perspective. [/quote]

+1- stop posting?  Nice try at censorship there PP[/quote]
