[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rule in fairfax is no assigments over break.[/quote]

I've heard that before. I teach for FCPS and if that's a rule not all teachers adhere to it.[/quote]

Our FCPS HS adheres to it.  It seems comes out in an email from the Principal before every break.  [/quote]

Is this a county-wide policy or decided school by school?[/quote]

School by school.  Our principal sends out an email, but it is not a rule for the county.[/quote]

Your post and the PP conflict.[/quote]

The superintendent sent out MULTIPLE emails before winter break stating it is county policy not to give assignments over extended school breaks, or to test students the first two days back from break.  I am trying to find them to quote, but I seem to have deleted them.  This was reiterated by our principal several times.  If this is really the case of assignments being given the day before break, due the day back (and not just break as an extra week to complete it), then your son should contact the principal and ask for clarification of the policy.[/quote]
