[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This calendar is brutal on kids.  I can hardly believe that next week will be even worse than this week.  I am so fed up with this woke school board and their crappy calendar.  They're scum.  Has anyone counted how many days off the kids have had this Fall??????[/quote]

9 days off through Thanksgiving, 12 days including Thanksgiving break.

So for the parents that had to take 9 days off just this fall, that's essentially their vacation for the year. [/quote]

Sounds like some parents didn’t look at the calendar ahead of time and plan for it.

I personally love the breaks for the kids (and we are a dual working family). Anything that makes summer shorter is a win. [/quote]

Sounds like you have flexible jobs and/or older kids. Mine are old enough to be alone now and/or we can WFH - not everyone can. The day here, day there approach puts a lot more burden on working families of young kids than extra summer days do. [/quote]

In addition, it puts a lot of burden on shift workers and the very kids that FCPS claims to care about with their "equity agenda".

It also puts a heavy burden on sped kids who need routine.

But it's disruptive to ALL kids who should be in school and learning as much as possible between now and the end of the year.   We've been off enough.  Get the kids back in school.  They don't need breaks every 4 days. [/quote]
