[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel really bad for the teachers. For HS, they got stuck trying to jam everything into a smaller time period and now they will have to come up with something random for the kids to do the last week. Exams and grades are already done at this point so no idea what they will do.

The good ones don't schedule vacation during the school year. They use breaks for vacation. Many teachers in MCPS don't like in Montgomery County. The live up in Frederick and have small kids. Frederick unlike MCPS has made attempts to make up some instructional time so they will probably get a waiver. The teachers with kids in Frederick will have to cancel vacation plans and come up with childcare as their kids will be out of school. [/quote]

I am glad you feel bad for the teachers. As a teacher myself with a child. I was looking forward to the trips we have planned this summer. I think they could have done something to avoid putting extra days at the end of the school year. However many counties failed to do that. So now one of my trips is being cut or I will take those days off depending on when the last day of school will be.[/quote]

You were on notice that one of your nine weeks off could be a school week. Doesnt make any sense to plan a trip for that week.  [/quote]

Now we have entitled teachers. And the comment above about specialist doctors only available one week in June or the end of August is total bullshit.  Teachers, administration AND parents knew of the snow make-up policy. There was already 4 days by the end of winter break, yet people still went ahead with camp deposits, vacations and doctor appointments. The school is not to blame, Mother Nature is not to blame, the state denying a waiver is not to blame. You are the only one to blame. You prepared wrong and instead of owning up to it, people either whine/complain around their kids. Say "we won't send our kids to school" or just blow it all off saying it is a wasted week with no learning.  What fine examples you are showing your kids. [/quote]

You're questioning my daughter's specialists and their schedules?

At least I'm home with my kids during the summer and don't HAVE to rely on camps as the great sitter!

Much luck to you, asshole!  [/quote]

+1,000,000...too many on this board judge without knowing anything of someone else's situation.  I am with you on this one! Also, thanks for teaching our kids.  Some of us do appreciate what you do for them.[/quote]
