You honestly don't understand how students are in school buildings. No, they don't need 184 days. The last two weeks are useless as it is and it has nothing to do with teachers and everything to do with students being mentally checked out. Just stop talking about things you clearly don't understand. You want free babysitting, we all know that, but please stop pretending you have any idea about academics. [/quote]

That's exactly why we need to build in 184 days from the start-- so we don't end up having to tack on extra days before summer break.

If we could actually make use of make up days spread throughout winter/spring, then we could avoid that. But we're hearing increasingly ridiculous reasons why we can't use make-up days.[/quote]

184 built in days are fine, but it's ALSO fine to not use them at the end of the year like other counties do if they aren't used as make-up days. You were insisting 184 should be used no matter what. Not rocket science.[/quote]

This is a good example of why parents have gotten increasingly frustrated with schools and teachers. As two income households have gotten more common, schools have instituted policies and practices that are increasingly hostile to working parents. And some are completely nonsensical- like the pp suggesting we should schedule school days but then not use them.[/quote]

As a two income households, you could afford to hire help for the day.[/quote]

Again, the blatant hostility to working parents is part of why there's so much animosity towards teachers and district officials. It's not going to be a winning strategy for you long-term.[/quote]
