[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS doesn't care about APs. They are only using them as an excuse. If they cared about APs they wouldn't be pushing 2-week winter breaks as the minimum, and they wouldn't be pushing the combination of new holidays, more teacher work days, and unnecessary days off like election day. Put all those together and even with the earlier start date, kids taking AP classes are basically in the same place (or worse) than they were ten years ago. [/quote]

+1. There is literally no good reason rooted in education to adopt this policy. Many other districts in the country are starting and ending earlier, but they are working in dedicated chunks with breaks in-between - not this choppy disruptive crap APS and FCPS are pushing.

The top 3 reasons seem to be: (1) more paid holidays for back office staff; (2) more paid holidays for back office staff; and (3) addressing childcare issues for the APS staff who chose to live in FCPS.  Winning points in the Woke Olympics seems to be a distant fourth, at least until the ACLU or the Satanists put an end to the selective picking and choosing of religious celebrations. But see reasons 1-3 above. [/quote]
