[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought routine was supposed to be good for kids? I'd love to have the teachers weigh in on this. Especially at the elementary school level, doesn't a regular schedule make classroom management and routines easier?

My main problem with this calendar is that it's so choppy. But if the dedicated teachers think that is easier for teaching, then I'm happy to defer to their experience. My sense is that teachers weren't consulted on this calendar any more than parents were.[/quote]

Teacher here. While I am happy to have these new holidays off, they should have moved some of the TWD to make less choppy weeks. There were a few things they could have done to add more full weeks without getting rid of the new holidays. I sent my suggestions to SB and obviously they did not listen. [/quote]

Or, maybe they did listen... AND listened to many other voices and considered many other factors in addition to yours that you may not be aware of or considering.  Not adopting your suggestions =/= Not listening to and considering them.[/quote]

Or maybe they don't listen to anybody other than their hand picked committee of stooges.[/quote]

Maybe, the calendar reflects almost all of what the majority of people voted for.[/quote]

I don't recall being asked to vote for taking Yom Kippur off (or any other religious holiday).  Put kids in school.[/quote]

No.[/quote]
