[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long summer breaks are terrible for knowledge retention. This schedule is a step in the right direction, but I wish summer break was even shorter, maybe 6 weeks, and we got longer fall, winter, and spring breaks. Same amount of days off, just scheduled to actually promote learning and not prop up vacation industries.[/quote]

My kids FCPS high school’s schedule for the last week of school was a huge waste of everyone’s time. 
Dismissal at 11am, each day the last week. Imagine what teens get into when they’re cut loose at 11am every day during the last week of school.

The week before the last week was a 4 day week with Wednesday off. Wednesday.

Academy program buses stopped running 3 weeks before the end of the year. 3 weeks. If your kid relied on the bus because they didn’t have a car, they would just stay at their home school and sit in the library. Missing the last 3 weeks of their Academy class.

Massive waste and obvious that the school was just making the required yearly hours.
