[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sure didn't take long for the teachers union to screw us over.[/quote]

What does this have to do with the teachers union? They had nothing to do with it. Perhaps you can cite something that shows otherwise. [/quote]

You don't think it's a coincidence they're going with half days, which are good for teachers, but terrible for kids and families?[/quote]

The half days are because of Youngkin’s literacy act, not teacher unions.[/quote]

Did that act specify half days to accommodate the training? No, it didn't.[/quote]

Do they have the money to pay teachers for this training on non-contracted time....not they didn't. Here we are.[/quote]

Exactly, it always comes down to money.[/quote]

Weird the district with the highest budget can’t do what neighboring districts with significantly lower costs do. [/quote]

It has nothing to do with budget, it has to do with teacher salaries and per student costs. FCPS does spend more than LCPS, but they also have more ESOL students. I don’t know how the SPED numbers compare….[/quote]

Higher than Loudon, higher than Richmond, higher than Arlington? Weird that no other district took seven half days to implement a statewide requirement…FCPS is just so special. [/quote]

Do you know what the others, including "Loudoun", are doing to implement the requirement?[/quote]

Loudoun is doing full days after seeking parent feedback, and selected them for their proximity to other holidays. Arlington added two full days off. Alexandria says their plan will not be removing any instructional time. Richmond is using existing training days. It’s really just Fairfax who need 21 school hours arranged to be as wasteful of student and parent time as possible. [/quote]
