[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was talking to an ES teacher about the 5-day Memorial Day weekend that is scheduled for this year.  She said that if your child has passed the SOLS and you can afford it, do you NOT send your child back for the last three weeks of school.

Her reasoning is that ALL of the instruction is done in early April and then its just SOL review.  The last three weeks of school will be videos and busy work while the teachers clean up their classrooms or help students who failed the SOLs.  Kids will be better off at home with a stay at home parent.

ES teacher here. This is false. We were still teaching benchmark in June and SS. The only thing I was done with was math. The fact that a teacher said that is appalling and shows that she probably isn’t a good teacher. [/quote]

I have a hard time believing an ES teacher said that and that it wasn't a troll post. I'm also an ES teacher and we've never finished the pacing by the first week of April and we don't spend weeks doing review before testing. Admin doesn't even let us start taking down materials or packing until a few days before the last day of school.[/quote]
