[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m of two thoughts:

Yes, the calendar is too disjointed and it needs to be fixed.

But teachers need work days. If we want teachers to stay in the profession, they need to be granted time during the work week (even just occasionally) to get their work done. It shouldn’t be the expectation that nights and weekends belong to their jobs, too. [/quote]

I have a demanding job. It has me on calls for a good portion of the day. This means I have to work outside of work hours to get my work done.

Teachers need to also use their time more efficiently. FCPS ES and MS have very little grading to do. [/quote]

You sound ignorant. You don't have a clue what's asked of teachers. Also school isn't daycare figure out your parenting.[/quote]

Can we all stop with the "school isn't daycare" argument? It does very little to advance the discourse.

Clearly parents are incredibly frustrated with the fragmented calendar!  Teachers do whine more than most about their job. It's a remnant of COVID years. I don't know what the best solution is but arguing in favor of this crappy calendar isn't winning anyone over.[/quote]

Parents are frustrated because they think school is daycare, teachers are their personal tutors (how else to explain every one having an IEP these days), oh and that teachers should work for free.

I’m not a teacher, but I honestly don’t understand how they put up with parents’ BS these days.[/quote]
