[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MS teacher here. We need to end school earlier (Memorial Day or first week of June) and then expect real learning/work until the second to last day. Otherwise behavior problems and absenteeism are huge. Teachers who show movies are doing so because student computers are being collected, you can't do a summative (real) assessment without giving 2 weeks to retake, and a large portion of kids have stopped coming or are there but out of control and refusing to do work.

[b]Put 2-3 teacher work days at the end of the school year [/b]for grading so that teacher can TEACH until the end and still have time to finalize gradebooks. [/quote]

There are two teacher workdays on June 18 and 19th.[/quote]

And yet grades are due a week before those two days! There are two days where the students are gone and the teachers still have nothing to do but are required to be in the building[/quote]

Nobody (students or teachers) should go next week. If you have finals, find a random day off school property (even if next week) to get them done but get summer started! It is an absolute DISGRACE to still be in school next week despite beginning on August 18 (students)/ 11 (teachers).

SUMMER IS WAY too short. Teachers last day June 18, first day next year August 17-less than 2 months[/quote]
