[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn't any different from any other year. I have a HS senior, and in grade school Mondays were all half days. 4.5 day, then home on the bus. Tuesday-Friday were full day.

If FCPS wanted to F with you, they would go back to half-day Mondays. This schedule isn't bad.

I kind of agree. As a parent of a k and 2nd grader, I'd rather have this then an endless summer during which they can forget everything they learned over the past year.

I do wish there were more 5 day weeks. Structure is good for everyone and it might even help with all the learning loss resulting from past two years. Which we're not supposed to notice or acknowledge.[/quote]

How nice. Wait until you have HS kids. Then you basically have 8 weeks of summer, or less. They have to start going back at the end of July for sports and activities. You'll be where we are in no time. And kiss your vacations goodbye.[/quote]

This seems very dramatic for the fact they're basically shortening summer by 1 week.

Not really. that period before July 4 is basically most people (with older kids) free time in the summer. After that, green days start, then sports and other activities requiring them to be at the school. Not all of it is athletics. Plus orientation, etc. So, forget for summer travel and much true summer after that.

Now if your kid does no activities or you have little kids, this may not be true.

I expect we'll be missing some days in June, depending on test dates.

Three more years of this sh-- then Im done. [/quote]
