[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have just commented on their site. I will be contacting appropriate representatives about reducing contact days to less than 180. I find 180 days too much, given how many schools, public and private learn more or just as much with less days. I am very happy with after the Labor Day start, but strongly opposed to less than a week of Spring Break. I will have my kid stay at home, if that is what it takes. [b]I am also for shorter school days, you realize that MD has an average school day of 7 hours, well, 1 minute less. Longer than many US states? Why[/b]? My DD is having no teacher for 2 weeks in one of her classes, but she has "contact days?" We don't need 180 days of school.[b] I wish I made my DD attend the private school like I wanted,[/b] but she was so stuck on our assigned public school since they have a great team for her sport.[/quote]

What are you talking about??   One of my kids goes to Holton and they are in school from 8am to 3:35pm every day and optional (but very well attended) homework club is until 4:30pm until 8th grade.  Most private schools have longer hours and more time for recess/art/culture/study halls.  They aren't limited to the terrible bus stystem in an overcrowded district.  We prefer the longer hours.  You are crazy wanting shorter hours.  [/quote]
