[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because it makes no sense to put kids in school in the middle of freakin August. This place gets more backwards all the time. This schedule is stupid because you put the kids back in for four days and then take five days off. Just start after Labor Day.[/quote]

This!!!!![/quote]

Not this!!!!!

So much preliminary stuff happens in the first few days of school, with very little learning.  Schedule changes, learning classroom rules, going over course outlines and expectations, learning a new school and/or new teachers...at least they can get much of that out of the way in the first week and then get to learning right after Rosh Hashanah.  It's not like they're in for 4 days and APS gave them a 5-day, M-F vacation.  They are in for 4 days, followed by a closure on Friday that is mandated by Virginia state law, then the Labor Day weekend (Monday is a federal holiday), and then Tuesday is Rosh Hashanah, an important Jewish holiday.
