[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But pp, those days were scheduled, at least in theory. Were you also annoyed last year when they got out 2 days early and the calendar changed? It sucks about camp, yes. But we had 2 snow days in December and four in January. So yeah, it is kind of short sighted to not see how things were likely to play out. That's all. [/quote]

Not short sighted at all.  My kids have done nothing academic for the last few days of school since they started  elementary school.  If I had plans, why would I rearrange my schedule for two days where they will be watching movies, having parties, and leaving before noon (last day)?  Last year it was probably a couple of weeks of very little academic stuff for older DC because after the SOLs were over, it seemed as if the focus on teaching was over.  Maybe if FCPS was so concerned about education, they would work harder at getting a waiver from the Kings Dominion rule.  That way more of the school year occurs before the SOLs.  My kids will be in school for the last two days of school because they don't want to miss the parties, but I get why other parents aren't planning to skip camps or vacation time to go have their kids watch movies.
