[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Option E reads as 9-3:45 or 9:50-4:35pm. Both are part of the ES solution. It’s not all ES gets a 9:50 start. [/quote]

Ok ok, so only half of the elementary schools get screwed.  In that case, carry on! [/quote]Well, that does impact less overall. Excellent point![/quote]

That is not how I read the message.

There are more than 140 elementary schools in FCPS![/quote]

I have been teaching for 25 years.  I teach at an ES that currently starts at 9:20. Students in pre-K through 2nd are exhausted by 3. This change would put our school at the latest time. These kids would have this developmentally inappropriate schedule for 7-8 years! Kids getting home at dinner time and being at home or daycare in the AM when they are most ready to learn is not in the best interest of elementary—aged students.   [/quote]

Attention working parents who put your 7-8 year old kids in after school programs so you can pay for their clothes, home and food: according to above poster, you are awful and should quit so you are home by 3 for your kids or your are developmentally hurting them. Shame on all working parents that keep their kids out of the house until after 6. So selfish to try to make a living when should just be home with no job. Amazing any of those harmed kids have survived at all let alone get into college.[/quote][/quote]
