[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all of you moaning about learning loss, I'm looking at other counties and they start later than MoCo AND get out earlier. Garrett- Start: Sept. 6 End: June 7 Harford: Sept 6-June 13 Queen Anne's August 29-June 8..Somerset August 29-June 8th, Wicomico- Sept 6-June 14, Worcester: September 6-June 13....so they have the right idea of what a school year should look like. MoCo insists on extra days where no work is actually done because students are more than checked out at that point. Common sense, which not a shocker, but MoCo residents tend not to have. [/quote]

Some of them have basically a long weekend for Spring Break and don’t take into consideration any other non-Christian holidays because they have a much less diverse population of students and staff. They also don’t have many teacher workdays so I don’t know how teachers are getting trained or getting time for planning/grading. [/quote]

Hint: "Teacher training" aka professional development is a joke 99.9% of the time and if teachers had the chance at longer summers vs a few extra hours to grade on a half day, they'd gladly take the longer summer. [/quote]
