[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those so indignant about DC "shirking its legal responsibilities," let's remember that the 180 days thing is a federal mandate while school funding is local.

Also, do you seriously think adding a day in mid-June is going to meaningfully impact your child's life?  Or is this just about your convenience?

And for all of you weirdly wishing for year-round school (again, is this about your kid or you?), who do you think staffs camps?  A lot of the staff is high school and college kids on break.

Sure DC can offer some Spring Break camps, but that works because so many people don't use them.  There is not a full complement of camp counselors sitting around waiting to staff a random two or three week break in October or February.[/quote]

You're right, we should never discuss changing anything about DCPS because it works perfectly as is. Test scores are up, truancy is down, high schools are adequately preparing kids for college, there isn't a crisis of kids who can't read or write. I don't understand why anyone ever complains -- truly and educational utopia.

Wait.[/quote]
