[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No way, I love the days off and what they represent. Most secondary parents like them, whether they care about the holidays off or not. [/quote]

Good to know you don't value education. Most. parents and teacher do. [/quote]

You’re an idiot. It’s the same number of hours/days regardless of how you arrange them. While 5 day weeks may be better for elementary students, days off throughout the year can benefit middle and high schoolers.

Parents who don’t mind the current calendar value education as much as you do. [/quote]

Stop parroting this nonsense.  It is totally awful to have all these days off.  No one likes them. We want to get on with actual school. And get out for summer earlier.  We just had Spring Break. Even the kids want to get back into the swing of things. [/quote]

It has pros and cons for high school.  Summer is so short.  It is hard to fix in other experiences for kids.  Also - makes it hard for those kids who need to work to work!  Really the calendar benefits high schoolers who take AP classes and don’t have to work.

My kids is not AP.  It is important that he try other things away from school so find his place in the world and this calendar is awful!

Between a family trip and coming back early to start sports it an hard to fit anything else in.  Grrrr[/quote]
