[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope FCPS can make this fix.  All of the random days off are disruptive to learning and [b]hard on working parents.[/b]  I'm totally supportive of a 4 day weekend in October and/or February to break up the longer stretches, but we need more consistency and 5 day weeks.

That’s a you problem, not an FCPS problem. [/quote]Uh, most kids have two working parents.  It's not 1950 any more.[/quote]

Probably 1/3rd of my students’ parents work from home. They can figure it out.[/quote]

Do you think working from home with children at home is actually do-able with the amount of time FCPS kids have off school? This has to be a joke...and to the PP that noted her child is working on a science project and studying for AP- ill make sure I tell my 8 yr old to sit for 7 hours and work on school work and make themselves lunch and snacks...while my middle schooler does the same...and we can all meet back up at 5pm in the living room for family time. I am all for holidays off and breaks from school but this is getting out of hand- day 6 today for spring break oh and go to school for 3 and then have Friday off for??? I will make sure to vote for teachers to work for all 12 months and see how they enjoy summer home while working...its not an easy things to do.[/quote]
