[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you shorten summer and add in crazy longer breaks during the year you will have very few teachers.  The majority of teachers do not live in the District.  It is bad enough that our spring break rarely aligns with Virginia or Maryland.  If you then make summer shorter and have us working while our kids are off, and then we are off for weeks while our kids are in school, you will have a mass exodus.  And yes, I understand that many of you work while your kids are off in the summer, but many of us chose this profession for the work/life balance it allows for.[/quote]

Speak for yourself some of us would relish a shorter break and could make it work with our kids. My school like many others would also allow me to bring my child to work.

Also not all teachers are parents, I’ve seen so many teachers also say more breaks during the year would support their mental health. So I think a shorter summer would not cause a mass exodus and if it did DCPS will replace you -as they replace many (especially those not in high need positions).

But I do not think it’s on the agenda right now (shorter summers).[/quote]
