[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get it that the end of the school year is pretty much a joke, but it’s been WEEKS of this now at the high school level. Why all the emphasis on attendance and the proper number of instructional days then? This certainly isn’t “instruction”.

My kid’s classes have such low attendance that those who show up are helping teachers pack up or watching movies. School truly feels optional now.

Are all FCPS high schools like this? What a waste of tax dollars running the buses back and forth with gas prices so high. And a waste for the student drivers.

I’m out of excuses to keep my DC home, but they are so bored. Admin/teachers: tell me why they should keep showing up?!

Parents: what are you even writing on the attendance page at this point? (Or do you just keep ignoring the phone calls and emails…)

As a newer family to the county, I am shocked and disgusted by this lack of stewardship and accountability. And I believe our kids/taxpayers deserve better than this.

Thanks to those teachers who are still finding interesting things to do and share. [/quote]

I get what you are saying....it feels like weeks of nothing when it used to just be the last week of school. My DC has called me from school to see if I could get them as they were watching a movie-again. That was well before finals started. My family out west thinks we are nuts all these random days off from school-they start school in August and the end around Memorial Day. They do not have all these random days off that drag out the year. This county has become a joke in many ways sadly.[/quote]
