[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, love the non-5 day weeks. They are great. Summer is such a pain to plan, and we (and most of our friends) much prefer a day here and there, rather than additional weeks in the summer. [/quote]

I agree! We love the 4 day weeks! It really helps with the sleep for middle and high schoolers.[/quote]

Time to be a parent.  The entire school system doesn't operate around the needs of your special child. [/quote]

Right back at ya with the endless whining about days off at times you don’t like and early dismissals.[/quote]

Good to know that you're against effective education.[/quote]

Reference the data that shows that this is ineffective education. There's just as many that show that shorter weeks are highly effective.

Teaching kids to adapt to a varying schedule, what a horrible thing for them to learn.[/quote]

Please quantify the value of “adapt to a variant schedule”. [b] I have a feeling it doesn’t justify asking parents to pay thousands of dollars more each year[/b].[/quote]

Again and again, you keep claiming it’s about education, but then screeching back to childcare costs. Your childcare costs are YOUR PROBLEM and no one else’s.[/quote]

You’re mixing multiple posters. My point from the start has been that in the 2026 election cycle where Democrats are running on affordability, democrats on the school board are going to have to step up if they want to consider higher office. Meren clearly wants to be part of the affordability agenda. A calendar that chooses to add thousands of dollars to the cost of living in Fairfax is tone deaf.[/quote]

You’re delusional, but clearly you’re highly committed to your delusion, so have at it.  When the finalized calendar requires just as many childcare expenditures out of your pocket, remember this and don’t whine. We told you.[/quote]
