[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the O days were a great compromise without having so few full weeks. Students need full 5 day weeks for routine and consistency. If more holidays need to be observed - put the teacher work days around them as well. As a teacher - I would rather have one long weekend that includes a work day and a religious holiday than 2 weeks of 4 day weeks. The one week difference is not a huge change in what is in my grade book and I can easily make changes after the bulk of the work is done for grading. [/quote] The O days were awful for Grades 7-12. We couldn't teach anything new, test over anything, do any projects, or do anything meaningful, and the students knew it. Behavior issues were horrendous becuse we were babysitting bored teenagers.[/quote]
