[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They don't start early. My friend's kids in South Carolina started way earlier and are in school already.[/quote]

Agree.

They should start a week earlier and get out by Memorial Day weekend.

The point of fcps going with an August start date was so school could end the first half of June.

Unfortunately, this incompetent school board managed to bungle the calendar with a bunch of non teaching days, so now we get the worst of both worlds, a mid August start date and a late June dismissal.

If the school board could manage to stick with the original plan of ending school early June, then we could have a strong, workable schedule that aligns with most other states, basically all universities,  and all of the June summer programs nationwide for high school students.  We wouldn't have 3-4 wasted weeks of non insteuction following the AP exams and SOLs.

But managing a practical functional calendar with an August start date and late May/early June dismissal is just too much to ask of this fcps school board and the thousands of Gatehouse employees.

Dang, I wish we had a functioning school board that focused solely on education and not all the other nonsense.[/quote]
