[quote=Anonymous]My kids are in a JKLMM school and I have no interest in a longer day (unless they start earlier - 8:35 is ridiculous) or a longer year. I often question what my kids are even learning in school - they're at or slightly above grade level and are "reading in the corner" much of the time while teachers focus on other students (who arguably need the help). I echo the sentiment that we need BETTER instruction rather than more instruction. How about some differentiation across skill levels to help kids of all levels learn better? And PLEASE, PLEASE get rid of all of the 4 day weeks - DCPS with the teachers union is the only school that does this. Privates do not have this crazy schedule. They have a shorter school year and better results. And pp's are right - the last couple of weeks are a write off w/videos, etc. so that teachers can dismantle their classrooms during the school year rather than having to use up a couple of days of their 2 month summer break.[/quote]
