[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I, for one, love the new schedule.

It allows us a family to do quick, luxurious vacations when other families have school. Halloween weekend is perfect for a trip to Hilton Head. The two weeks off for winter break is perfect for seeing both families. January- quick pops over for Ski trips. April is perfect for Hawaii.

I understand the backlash. But considering the average household income of the county- I’m not quite sure the complaints here side with the majority. Even when you look at the survey results- 2/3 of the population is generally happy with the calendar.

I prefer long weekends over random half days. I prefer the ability to go away and see family on those long weekends.

I feel bad for those of you who want the kids in school all of the time. But you really should look at the school calendars for other counties. Loudoun is very similar to our. Stafford is a poop show. MCPS- similar.

As for working or single parents not being able to do this- this is why you pay for SACC. This is why SACC exists. It’s super affordable and scaled based on poverty levels.

Finally- for those of you who can’t afford any vacation- which is about 30%- look at other county school calendars.  It is the same. Find a county that you like better and post it. We will encourage you to move there![/quote]

You can’t be real.  If you’re so rich, why oh why are your children attending FCPS?[/quote]

Some people like their local public school.  Shocking, I know.[/quote]

Huh.  Every wealthy person in my neighborhood sends their kids to private or boarding.  I know that others make different choices.  Interesting.  Thank you.[/quote]

I live in a wealthy neighborhood and everyone does public HS. It's a mix for ES and MS.[/quote]
