[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what should students be doing this week? And at what grades?[/quote]

They should be doing what the taxpayers are paying for - learning.  Not movie-watching while the teachers clear out early so they can paid for not working.  Learning.[/quote]

When would you have teachers do their clean up, etc then?  Should they not be paid for that?

Also PP, WHAT should students be learning this week?  Should they be doing projects?  Review sheets that will end up in the garbage?

How would parents structure these days?[/quote]

Long-time DCPS parent here who recently switched to a small independent private school.

I was gobsmacked that the kids had tests and projects due the last day of school. [b]Then I learned that the teachers are on the clock for a full week after the kids leave. That's when the assessments, the staff meetings, and the pack out happens. [/b]School ends about a week earlier than DCPS. The teachers work the same number of days, the kids get the same number of effective days of instruction. But they run through the finish line.[/quote]

Yes. I think we need suck it up as a city and to pay the teachers for an additional 3 or 5 days of work. Have them teach until the last day - and give them a few days after the students are out of the buildings to complete grades, break down classrooms etc.

Yeah, because not spending enough has always been the problem in DCPS.  L :roll: [/quote]
