[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will people be sending their kids to school for the two days next week? Especially asking B-CC parents but anyone can reply of course. DD doesn't have any tests or anything then and I don't know if anyone will actually be there, so I'm a little unsure if I should make her go or not.[/quote]

Why wouldn’t they? They are school days. [/quote] People have been in school pretty much non-stop (save for the 5-day weekend Thanksgiving break) why wait another 4 days when most of the country got out today? It's not their fault that Maryland requires 180 days to take place even if a bunch of days are claimed by holidays and snow days. Yes those who love school will go and unfortunately the teachers are obligated to be there but don't take it out on the students who want the same break as their counterparts to the south and west. The Northeastern states mostly have this crazy schedule too as a by product to the school day requirements. But in some other states as specific amount of hours counts as credit to 180 days even if there are slightly fewer calendar days. So if a day is typically 5.5 hours 990 hours=180 days, if 6 hours 1080 hours=180 days.[/quote]
