[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Options 2 and 3 both have 4 day weeks for four out the first six weeks.  I am sorry, but that is pathetic.  [/quote]

Check again.  All three calendars have two 4-day weeks in the first six weeks (with Labor Day and Sept. 28 off).  They also all have an early-release day in week 5 (either Oct. 2 or 9).  Options 2 and 3 have an additional early release day the Friday before Labor Day.

Also, all the calendars show September as having 31 days, although this is corrected by having both Sept. 31 and Oct. 1 be on a Thursday.  Interesting calendar![/quote]

Option 1 has 3 of the first 6 weeks with 4 days and really, [b]that random 1/2 day [/b]needs to just go away.  In every single option. [/quote]

Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it's random. The early release days in week 5 of each quarter are for teachers to have more time to get all the assignments graded in time for interim reports. You may not like this reason, but it isn't random.[/quote]

Sorry, but the teachers don't even work a full 8 hours a day and have multiple hours within that, to work on lesson plans and grade.  No other job gives days off to catch up on work.  I am glad they finally got rid of the full days off (when the parking lots were empty anyway) but the half days need to go too.  Like the PP said above, they have multiple 4 day weeks in the beginning of the year too.  [/quote]
