[quote=Anonymous]No question that the inconsistent schedule in FCPS has a negative impact on working parents. While I think that should be considered and understood, there is a far more important impact with the inconsistent schedule: The "main thing" is the impact that the inconsistent schedule has on learning. As a teacher of young children, I know that this is not good. As a parent, I know it is also not good for older kids. Yes, there is a lot of academic pressure on kids and a break is welcome--but, "hello" there are weekends and holiday breaks. The FCPS schedule is insane. The frequent 3/4 day weeks are ridiculous. Please, School Board, remember the purpose of the schools is to educate our kids. You seem to forget that. [/quote]
