You honestly don't understand how students are in school buildings. No, they don't need 184 days. The last two weeks are useless as it is and it has nothing to do with teachers and everything to do with students being mentally checked out. Just stop talking about things you clearly don't understand. You want free babysitting, we all know that, but please stop pretending you have any idea about academics. [/quote]

That's exactly why we need to build in 184 days from the start-- so we don't end up having to tack on extra days before summer break.

If we could actually make use of make up days spread throughout winter/spring, then we could avoid that. But we're hearing increasingly ridiculous reasons why we can't use make-up days.[/quote]

184 built in days are fine, but it's ALSO fine to not use them at the end of the year like other counties do if they aren't used as make-up days. You were insisting 184 should be used no matter what. Not rocket science.[/quote]

This is a good example of why parents have gotten increasingly frustrated with schools and teachers. As two income households have gotten more common, schools have instituted policies and practices that are increasingly hostile to working parents. And some are completely nonsensical- like the pp suggesting we should schedule school days but then not use them.[/quote]

Most counties that have more than 180 schools do this. Educate yourself. You’d know by the week before the last week of school if you’d need to arrange childcare. If other places successfully do this (and have been for years), MCPS can too. You really want to be a victim and it’s sad.[/quote]
How many counties have more than 180 schools?[/quote]

Not doing research for your laziness, but here's a good start for you: https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2002/100_largest/table_app_a_1.asp

I know you think the whole world is in Maryland, but we have an entire country out there doing much bigger things with much bigger school districts! Imagine that! I know it's hard for your tiny brain to comprehend, but at least try. [/quote]
So fewer than 20, with some vast differences between them.[/quote]
