[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have had it with the FCPS calendar. The days off have gotten totally out off hand. At some point FCPS decided it need to celebrate EVERY possibly , religious and non religious holiday under the sun. 
It is out of control.

Throw in all the weather delays and closing and kids are never in school. I know, I know, but they still meet their hours and are above the VA standard. Sure, who cares when it come to elementary, but HS teachers, especially, those teaching AP classes plan their year around having a certain number of days of school, and given that most AP exams are early May they already have a condensed timeline. Elementary parents come back to the conversation with your kid in in HS and school actually matters. Why not have a higher bar and if there aren't weather related closing we get more instruction.

Your kids get the same amount of instruction they always do. There's a number of hours they have to meet and they meet them.

Your complaints about observing holidays are invalid, as are your feelings. You seem to believe that the purpose of schools is to warehouse kids.

The time to "get the calendar changed" is when the board puts it out for comments. Weigh in then. Whining about it now is a bad look. [/quote]

DP. Don’t you dare gaslight people trying to act like there was any point at which the public could give meaningful input on the calendar. They put out a completely bullsh*t survey with ridiculous binary choices. They purposely phrased the questions so there was no way to choose a sensible calendar. They wrote the survey with the goal of doing whatever they wanted while pretending they solicited input first. They think we are stupid. I guess a lot of people are because they keep voting for this.

That's just your invalid opinion. I realize you're frustrated that you're in a fringe majority in with your invalid feelings, but it is what is. Stop blaming everyone for your inability to plan based on the information provided to you months in advance.[/quote]
