[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I just looked at our schools high school schedule.  I only see 11 O days during the actual school year and they are evenly spaced between odd and even days - 6 on one block schedule and 5 on the other block schedule. In fact, they switch pretty evenly so that several even days are not together for O days.   Don’t get me wrong, I think this whole thing is stupid - especially with a kid in several AP classes - but I don’t see the disparity with even and odd days (or what we call Red and Silver days).  Maybe our school divided the days up differently. 🤷‍♀️[/quote]

Because it's not about disparity in terms of seeing one class more than the other over the course of the entire year.  It's about the disruption to the teaching schedule over the course of the unit or quarter.  The way our calendar is set right now, for example, our current unit (which is supposed to take two weeks total) is going to take us five weeks.  Because of the labor day holiday, the two religious days, and mandatory BOY testing, everything is a mess.  I have kids I'm seeing today (9/1) that I will not be able to instruct again until 9/13.  That's insane.[/quote]
