[quote=Anonymous]This year reminds me of the calendar about 15 years ago. I was teaching 8th grade in FCPS. We had SIX full weeks of school after the SOLS. We had to cram most of the last quarter of material into just a few weeks so that kids knew the material for the SOL. Fortunately, my team was on board to do a bunch of projects that kept kids engaged, but it would have been very easy to not go that route. The whole thing was nuts and it's one of the reasons that FCPS switched to starting before labor day. However, with so many additional holidays and teacher workdays starting before labor day no longer seems to mean an earlier end to the school year.[/quote]
