[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People will leave Fairfax for other local locations that offer 5 day a week education.  Why pay for an expensive house here when we can move next door to Loudon and have our kids in school 5 days a week.  [/quote]

Silly since if they are that mobile they can pay for extra care/tutoring or private. I would think tutoring would be preferable.  More hours at school will not improve things and may cause students more stress. If schools and some parents do not or cannot address the discipline/behavioral issues, then going 4-days may be more productive.

Schools need to focus on delivering quality education not what is best for parents which is secondary at best. Other things like before/after school care should be handled separately either by family or non-school govt department. [/quote]

So what will happen... parents who can afford it will just enroll their kids in a 5th day of education - whether that is sports, arts, chess, etc. Parents that can't afford it will either a) leave kids home who are really too young to be home or b) have to lose income when they can't work that 5th day.

This is privilege.[/quote]
