[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all the moaning about camps, it is very easy to argue that MCPS has previous form for this in recent history and with only 2 days built into the calendar, this should have been expected. Signing up for stuff or a teacher taking a job starting 6/16 (sorry, what on earth were you thinking?) or camps not having any contingency plan was a known gamble that is now lost. And we're not even through January and this winter hasn't been kind so far. A half day on a Monday is absolutely stupid from a logical perspective but the camp argument doesn't move me.[/quote]

I don’t have a job starting in 6/16, but in years past, many camps that recruit teachers hold their onboarding the day after public schools get out so that they can start camp the following week. If you skip onboarding, you are fired.

These are great jobs that pay well with lovely kids and parents. It’s hard to give them up and stock at Target or bar tend at the country club for the summer over one day.

I’m past those years financially, thank God. However, I had the opportunity to do a seminar at an Ivy League university one year.  We had two makeup days that year. I missed the last makeup day because I had to be on campus in another state by 8 AM. It was fine. The principal I have now would never allow a personal day like that’s
