[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why the calendars don't make sense.  These are days that supposedly count towards the legal requirement but yet everyone knows that everyone is checked out.  If FCPS cared about education, this wouldn't be happening. We need to have more full weeks during/before SOLs when actual instruction is happening and have the summer start earlier. No one wants to be in school in June. These days shouldn't and don't count.[/quote]

Actually, what should happen is whole year schooling - there should be no 2+ months off in the summer, have school be year round and have more breaks throughout the year. [/quote]

No thanks! We love out summers. [/quote]

You'd still get a month in the summer but longer breaks throughout the year and throw in some more 4 day weeks.

Having the whole summer off it an antiquated vestige of slower times that are now long gone, time to move on and improve the model.

What a horrible idea.

High school kids would not get a summer vacation at all and would miss all the big summer programs as they are scheduled around all the school districts in the country with competent school boards and normal, sensible school year calendars. [/quote]

FCPS is burning the kids out by going this late into the year. My gosh, kids need a break. I told my teens (we're done where we live) that I am as tired of checking in on ParentVue and Canvas they they are. Let's put it all away for awhile. Free them from the Canvas![/quote]
