[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]@16:09  do you people ever quit?  Yes I'm really a private school parent and no I won't tell you our school.

Are YOU really a private school parent? Otherwise a simple calendar will tell you private schools start later, end later and have longer winter and spring breaks.  [/quote]

So you're frustrated with these aspects of your school, but refuse to name the school.  Sounds to me like you're making it up.

Also, FWIW on school calendars, I just compared MCPS with NCS to get a sense of this differential in days.  It seems MCPS starts a week earlier and ends a week later, but MCPS also has more days off during the year.  Lots of random teacher days.  By my count, MCPS is in school for a total of 9 days more than NCS over the course of a year.  But in counting days for NCS, I ignored the days of awards ceremonies, closing events, and commencement.  I don't see those on the MCPS calendar, so I'm not sure if they're done during the "school year," or just not listed on the calendar.  If they are done during MCPS's calendar days, then I should have included those for NCS too, and the differential shrinks more.[/quote]
