[quote=Anonymous]The reason that it is not on the MCPS calendar is that it is a tradition, and not an official event of any kind. It has its origins in a bygone era, when most MCPS parents were federal workers, who had the day off work. Nowadays, most parents are not federal workers, and yet the tradition continues, even though it makes no sense. The dog and pony show that you see on Columbus Day is not representative of the normal classroom experience. How could it be, with two dozen parents observing? It is certainly not representative of a typical day. And it is definitely not more important than parent teacher conferences. MCPS should do away with the entire thing. [/quote]
