[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does this come up every single year? How do people still not understand that we have to have 180 days of schools and districts choose the days they have off within those 180 days. It's still 180 days (more for MCPS bc of built in snow days) of school. Every. Single. Year. Yet every year we have a stupid thread like this.[/quote]

So you'd be cool if [b]MCPS decides to open for just 3 days a week during the winter and send kids to school for 2 days per week through the summer because it all adds up to 180 days of instruction at the end of the day[/b]? Why can't people complain about how MCPS decides to allocate those 180 days? For example, I think it's perfectly reasonable for folks to complain about the number of half days or random closed days during the first few months of school. I'm sure many (most?) would prefer that this off time be rolled into a string of days off for a fall break or to have the entire Thanksgiving week off. [/quote]

This isn’t a bad idea at all. Both students and teachers would have plenty of days for medical appointments and avoid burnout. It would end summer learning loss. It’s not great for teachers who supplement their income with summer jobs like camp, bartending, and lawn care, but maybe some would do retail on the days schools are closed. Please propose this.[/quote]
