[quote=Anonymous]I really don't think this has anything to do with APE. I think where parents get frustrated is that Syphax is setting the schedule based on different priorities than parents. Parent priorities: (1) Schedule with fewer gaps to support student learning (2) Consolidated/fewer breaks to simplify childcare and allow for some weekend/holiday travel/longer summers (3) Consistency so the schedule isn't always changing and people can plan School district priorities: (1) Matching Fairfax (2) Support of diverse groups by providing religious holidays (3) Time off for teacher training and grading (4) Avoiding operational complications like election day (5) Teacher sentiment Consistency and fewer random days off isn't considered. It would be great if APS considered parent/family priorities, but it doesn't. [/quote]
