[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They either need to come off the 180 day commitment or eliminate holidays — don’t care if religious or Columbus Day or whatever. Something has to give. The calendar is out of control. We’ve gotten nothing out of moving up a week. They just added more days off. All the nonsense about more instructional days before AP exams was just a scam to put in the religious holidays. [/quote]

go blame APE, they had their usual tantrum until APS caved and added this extra time. which no one wants and it's just a waste. [/quote]
Stop. You cannot blame this horrible calendar on APE. [/quote]

APE wanted more school days. You got em![/quote]
It went from 178/179 to 180[/quote]

yeah that's the 2 days people are complaining about having to be in school the week of Xmas-- Dec 21 and 22nd. Thanks APE![/quote]
Looks like Eid and Yom Kippur to me[/quote]

Oh sure let's have school on actual Jewish holidays so you can get two days off that are not even holidays the week of yours? [/quote]

I would like to see what attendance was like before they added the holidays. This year my Jewish spouse went to work on Yom Kippur while I stayed home with the kids. I want to know how many kids and teachers were missing school for Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Diwali, and the Eids before they added them to the calendar. To my understanding, none of this was every analyzed in Arlington, they just copied Fairfax's calendar. [/quote]
