[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is a straightforward calendar from a state/metropolitan area with a diverse population https://resources.finalsite.net/images/v1756930407/mplsk12mnus/ge5clwh0shgydwvthwbs/SYCalendar-English-2026-27.pdf

Put it out there and if people don’t like it there is always private school, home school, or excused absences.

The people who don’t like it will be the teachers/their advocates who will describe such a calendar as indecent conditions. Look at all the five-day weeks in school. [/quote]

I’m a teacher and I have no problem with that calendar. I’m a little surprised it’s being held up as a great example considering it only has 168 instructional days, but the 5 day weeks certainly don’t bother me.

I’d actually advocate for a shorter summer and more school days. Why 168? [b]Why 180? I don’t need three months for summer[/b] and, frankly, I have to spend the first month each year getting kids back up to speed. Change it to 200 and just pay me for the extra weeks. [/quote]

The last teacher day is June 18 and they return August 14. The calendar would have to change a lot to get to a 3 month summer. [/quote]
