[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ours sent a poll if our child would need care or not, without any indication on what is planned if they stay. [/quote]

FCPS should have been honest from the get go-these are half days/teacher training/planning. Teachers are drowning
 with all the "new" curriculum, basals, and standards on top of all the behaviors of kids, parents, and admin. Give them these afternoons to train, plan, organize. Or pay them a lot more. These are the options. No one wants to babysit your kids on a half day and if your kid do stay get cozy with the idea that they will be on  ST and Lexia while that teacher is working on her work. Free child care does not mean you get to dictate what this looks like. And pack them a snack for the afternoon because these are your children. How did all the parents and children survive the half days through the 90's-till whatever year they did away with half days. They survived and people are always saying the education was better back then...maybe because teachers were given true planning time. And by the way FCPS has given you a lot of time to plan for this....again these are your children.[/quote]
