[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I am in minority bc I am all for more school days and shorter summer breaks.  Provided of course they are actually teaching and not just playing for three weeks following SOLs.[/quote]

I also don't really care about shorter summers. Less summer camp I have to pay for. [/quote]
But now you have to pay for more random days off throughout the year.

[b]I wish they'd add to the calendar rules that there cannot not be two non-consecutive days off/early releases in a single week. [/b] [/quote]
In 2024 they have an early release on Wednesday (10/30), then a full day on Thursday (10/31), and no school on Friday (11/1, Diwali).  It basically kills the whole end of the week.  Move the early release to 10/31 and have a full day on 10/30.  Don't have non-consecutive closures.  [/quote]

Great - We'll go on vacation starting that Wednesday. And they wonder why absences are so much higher. Add in a bunch of days off and people will turn it into a long weekend away. [/quote]My kids don't want to be away and miss Halloween.  APS needs to move the early release to 10/31.  [/quote]
