[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do they have 2 teacher work days and an early release at the end of every quarter? It’s a lot. I just checked the calendar for the district where I grew up and they get one teacher work day at the end of the quarters. [/quote]

They don't have two TW at the end of any quarter on the current calendar.  They do link TW and SD days, which seems like it's what parents want if they're arguing that distributing days off through the quarter is disruptive.

I don't know what the expectation is for teachers in the district where you grew up.  People on DCUM claim to want high quality of instruction, and academic rigor, and obviously that means well planned lessons and meaningful assignments that are graded carefully, both of which take time. If you don't want those things, maybe move back?  [/quote]

What is going on at all the “staff development” and “school planning” days? It just seems like so much because other places aren’t doing all that as much, but are still having good school quality ratings and good test pass rates. [/quote]
