[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get it - everyone is saying their schools are counting those 10 minutes as instruction time when they're just getting off the bus.  But, our school really is starting class time 10 minutes earlier.  Why the discrepancy?  If our school says they are required by FCPS to do it that way, why is everyone else not?[/quote]

We are definitely not starting at a different time.  The principal is saying the "new school hours" are [10 min. earlier than last year] to [10 min. later than last year].  At the same time, principal is saying the "late bell" will ring and announcements will be read at the same time we had last year and kids will begin dismissal at the same time as last year.  So clearly, there is nothing different from last year except how they are accounting for kids to walk to and from the front door or bus.

At my other child's school (for AAP), the rule is that no kids are allowed into the school more than 5 min. before the start time (which is last year's start time) and the release is the same as last year's release time.  They are not even bothering parents with "new school hours" and imaginary accounting methods.  They are leaving the posted start and end times exactly as they were last year.  [/quote]
