[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the two weeks before labor day is because of all the random days off. I think that is a general push to start earlier because AP tests, etc. Remember a lot of school districts have already started (CA, GA etc). That said, I'd love fewer random days off! [/quote] AP tests? You’re telling me kids need to go to school in August for some perceived advantage on a test they’ll take the following May? People in this county seriously need to relax. [/quote] The point is that the school year is misaligned with testing. We can start earlier and end earlier. Because everything happens in April and May, there is absolutely no reason for kids to go to school in June. It’s all babysitting at that point. [/quote] Kids taking AP tests are a very small fraction of all the kids in APS. Maybe we don’t need to align the whole calendar based on them? School from September to June is not crazy. [/quote]
