[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]

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]what do you think kids in SACC programs are doing? Some are picked up at 6pm.  Your comments are ignorant. [/quote]
It’s clear that PP is discussing developmentally appropriate instruction time. Kids will be sitting in SACC for 2 hours in the morning instead of 2 hours at the end of the day. It’s more conductive to learning for them to spend their morning in the classroom and their afternoon in SACC. [/quote]
