[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not understand this forum’s opposition to starting a couple weeks earlier in August. I’m a mid-career teacher. I and most of my colleagues at my school would love to start earlier so we could keep all of the holidays and breaks as well as accommodate snow days. Please note this wouldn’t increase our salaries.

I think this would be beneficial for student well-being. Observing a religious holiday shouldn’t cause students stress of worrying how they will catch up on missed instruction. [/quote]

Sure,Jan. You're the only "teacher" I know who wants to start earlier in August.

No kid is worried about missing instruction. The AP kids are fine despite what one parent wants you to believe.

The MCPS forum is such a mess. [/quote]

You need to talk to more teachers. There are also some of us who would be fine with year round schooling.

I teach middle school magnet currently and kids are stressed about missing instruction even when sick for day. [/quote]
