[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is the 11 day winter break and the 9 day spring break. None of you are willing to give those up so keep on blaming other religions instead of Christians.....[/quote]

Definitely willing to chop both of those in half... teachers, however, are not. There was even a suggestion about frontloading 2 teacher work days to August, before school starts. [b]Teachers killed that one too. Would have meant fewer interruptions for kids, and literally no different to teachers other than doing those work days before school starts instead of in October..[/b].[/quote]

You do not understand that the workdays in August are to prepare for the start of the school year?  It takes a lot of work to set up your school room and prepare to welcome your new students.  The workdays in October are for evaluating and planning based on the performance of students.

Curious. Do you work?  Is your job exactly the same every week?  Is it not necessary to make adjustments from time to time?  Do some of these adjustments require time and evaluation beyond the normal work load?

You cannot just add two more days to the beginning of school and expect it to cover what is needed in October.[/quote]
