[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be awful!  All the kids would do is play video games, watch tik tok, watch YouTube, go to the mall and spend money on Starbucks. It would be like the shutdowns.

Hopefully, MoCo will not screw up the school budget so this becomes necessary. [/quote]

That hasn’t happened universally. It’s a choice that communities and families are making to not offer ways to use that day meaningfully. Some districts offer athletics, tutoring, STEAM enrichment, and service learning. Businesses and institutions have offered discounts and special activities on those days. It’s a popular day for scouting, 4H, and JA. And families of young children have podded together to have outings and provide coop childcare.

Nature abhors a vacuum. If MCPS moved to a 4 day schedule, within a month, there would be more than a dozen new businesses offering activities that offer activities doubling as childcare. It would most impact the working poor, but they would also benefit from the longer school days. [/quote]

Keep  treating teachers like garbage on your shoe....and the DMV area will be at 4 days. Down southern VA there are kids in classrooms but learning online....is what it is a teacher exodus.[/quote]
