Glad you can justify a school ceasing to provide instructional time to students during official school days by blaming their parents for being “the worst.”

Sounds like you’ve been smoking some heavy doses of copium.  [/quote]
Idiot, 8th graders have already graduated/promoted.  There's no more "instructional time " for them. They don't need to be in school. 
It's like expecting HS seniors to come back to school after graduation because school is still in session. You just need babysitters. 
Y'all stupid.

This probably comes across more like, "back in my day..."

But seriously I don't remember these big grade 5 and grade 8 ceremonies back when I was younger.  We did have an end of year outing but no big graduation ceremony.

In particular is graduating from 5th or 8th grade really THAT big of an accomplishment in MCPS now?

And even then, talking to parents at other schools in MCPS, not all schools celebrate students finishing 5th or 8th grades the same way.

So there's no big ceremony and no "graduation/promotion" day for them.  And I assume the last day of school is the last day of the school year for those schools, even though students may choose to not come in the last week if they know  no instruction will be done that week.

I get how it's fun for the kids and probably give them memories and something to celebrate, especially if kids are going their separate ways due to moving, split articulation, magnet/ib programs, etc.

I just think it's funny what we're really celebrating here. And for some schools that early and makes it seem the kids are done with the school year from that point on.

btw the shorter way of what I'm trying to say is 12th graders are done with MCPS by graduation ceremony time and is why it doesn't make sense for them to come back afterwards.  These 5th and 8th graders are only part way through their journey and have a couple of more years to go.  So they're not done with the MCPS K-12 experience.[/quote]
