[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is my child’s teacher having a test during the freaking eclipse?? Ridiculous.[/quote]

Is the eclipse going to interfere with brain waves? If not, why is this an issue that your child's teacher scheduled a test during the eclipse?[/quote]

It’ll interfere with me picking my child up early.[/quote]

:roll:  If you want to pick up your child early, do it. Your child can make up the test later.

If a parent found out that for TWO DAYS (due to keeping blocks on the same schedule), a teacher did nothing but fluff in order to accommodate for the eclipse, they'd complain.  But if that teacher actually taught and assessed content, parents would complain because they can't pick up their children early. It'd be another reason to complain about teachers.

Before anyone comments that blocks don't need to kept on the same schedule, let me explain why I need to keep my blocks aligned:

On Red days, I teach one section of Subject 1, one section of Subject 2, and one section of Subject 3. On Blue days, I teach one section of Subject 1 and one section of Subject 2.

Teaching three different subjects is very difficult anyway. If I allow my two blocks of Subject 1 and two blocks of Subject 2 to get misaligned, it is a nightmare for me as a teacher. In order to be my most effective, I need to keep those blocks aligned with each other.

Think of it this way (though these aren't the subjects I teach, this is similar to what I actually teach):
-- Subject 1 is AP Computer Science
-- Subject 2 is Algebra 2
-- Subject 3 is Geometry HN[/quote]
