[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Proposal: "Let's give overworked teachers a work day at the end of quarter to get caught up on grading, get set up for next Q's curriculum focus, etc.  Oh, and on non-mandatory religious holidays that FCPS observes for students, we'll have the teachers still come in and use that time instead of giving them additional holidays."

Reasonable person #1: "I disagree with the school system observing religious holidays in the first place, even for just the students... but given that is the case, having the teachers work on those days to catch up / prepare is probably the best way to go."

Reasonable person #2: "Isn't there a way we could ease the teachers' ongoing workloads such that they can make the quarterly transitions without needing a day to reset? Then we could end the school year 3 whole days sooner, which I know isn't a lot, but is important to me because <reasons>."

DCUM Poster: "This whole conversation is 'stupid' or 'insane' and 'kills' the calendar... only my way of doing things make sense and that should be immediately obvious to everyone because I use hyperbolic language!"[/quote]

Or they could use the additional religious holidays which they don't personally celebrate to catch up on their work.[/quote]
