[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is encouraging is the school can absorb 11 snow days without changing the calendar.[/quote]

And what is discouraging is that there is no chance of getting those 11 days of summer back if we don't use a single snow day. [/quote] ... b/c you don't want your children exposed to one minute of education more than the absolute minimum?????  Nice standards.[/quote]

It's FCPS. Get real. Everyone knows all new material stops in April for SOL prep and zero learning happens after the SOLs. [/quote]

You're hilarious. If you can show me how I can get through all the math and social studies content by April, I'd nominate you for the Nobel prize. I am literally teaching new material up until early May. As for what happens after the SOLs, I'll give you that. After all it's one week and then school is out. [/quote]

My kids were in school for an entire month after their SOLs. [/quote]

You if you are going to stop teaching after the SOLs, why not just end the school year there??? Why bother with prolonging the school year? And why not keep teaching???? You don't have to grade the new material you are introducing, but at least present it so, come Fall, the students will have had some exposure to it.[/quote]
