[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love to see the survey results because most of the people I know responded that they didn't want a ton of religious holidays, they didn't want Veteran's Day as a student holiday, they wanted a one week Winter Break, and they wanted to reduce the numbers of weeks with days off. My sample size is small, obviously, but I know of very few people who wanted this abomination of a calendar.

Ideally, we would have some 4 day weekends, if not actual breaks, at the end of each quarter so that Teachers have time to finish grading and entering grades. Include Teacher work days that are actual work days and not a bunch of BS meetings that none of the Teachers I know think are useful in any way where Teachers can actually get work done but not the crazy number that FCPS has.

I think they conduct the survey, write questions in a way that is impossible for parents to actually say what they want so that they can create a huge mess that pisses off everyone. [/quote]
Your sample group matches mine. I don't know of anyone who likes the current calendar with random days off. It is just another hurdle thrown to working parents.[b] How are we supposed to find childcare for all these random days? [/b]Or does FCPS assume that all the parents will remain working from home indefinitely? Public schools are supposed to serve the public. We fund them for that purpose. [/quote]

How can you not know the answer to this question?  What have you been using for childcare up to this point?  You are supposed to use SACC, a hired babysitter, a private before/aftercare facility (Childtime, Sparkle, Chesterbrook, etc), a Tae Kwon Do facility, a day camp (The NZone, The Fieldhouse, etc), a moms group, and so on.[/quote]
