[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have zero complaints with this schedule.  It works well and should be the plan for future years as well[/quote]

This is sarcasm, right?[/quote]

Nope.  I like this schedule as a MCPS teacher and a parent of a MCPS student.  Zero complaints.[/quote]

You realize it creates a mess every year because we don't have proper make up days, don't you?[/quote]

DP, they would need to add more random days off to do that. People don't like random days off. I personally am fine with it now because my kid can just go to childcare, but it would be a burden for many.

They really should go back to scheduling 184 days of school from the start. Then if there are more than  3 days when school is closed because of weather, they can get a waiver, nbd. But the union would push back against that. It's crazy that they just reduced instructional days over the last several years, now it will be hard to get them back.[/quote]

This.  Somehow McPS has gone from scheduling 184 days of instruction to 181 in the last few years. it’s not surprising that since they don’t actually plan for snow days that this year our kids only got 177 days.

It shows that McPS priorities are on keeping the union happy and not on teaching kids. Massachusetts requires that schools schedule 185 days so they can make sure that kids get at least 180 given the snow days there. [/quote]

This isn't about keeping the union happy. It's about keeping minority religious groups happy. If we would abide by our own policy that dictates that school closures only relate to operational concerns, we wouldn't have this problem.  [/quote]

What utter BS.  Minority religious groups are not the ones insisting that we only need 181 days of instructional time when we used to have 184.  This is all the union.[/quote]
