[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I kind of feel like either we need to start earlier so teachers can have plenty of time to establish routines or we could consider moving to a year round schedule....I know that might not be the most popular idea but it would allow for some more flexible scheduling with religious holidays and would also allow us to have some time off during non peak times.

I'm not in love with how few full weeks of school there are at the elementary level.[/quote]

I agree.  I like year-round schedules; but Arlington is finally eliminating the one modified calendar in the one elementary school that had it.  It absolutely would provide more flexibility to accommodate the growing # of holidays that must be recognized by having school off.  People could stop griping about teachers having cushy jobs with their summers off, though nobody seems to have a problem with students having summers off.  Rotating calendar starts can also be implemented to address capacity shortages.  Younger students get back into the routine of school faster after shorter breaks.  There are lots of reasons to consider yaer-round school.  Achievement gap isn't the only reason.[/quote]
