I think it’s fine for high school, but for working parents with younger kids the inconsistent schedule is really hard.

Working parents with young kids have before/after care that covers these teacher work days/non-Federal holidays.

We've had 3 (4?) religious holidays so far this year... and endless more to come.

Endless? Christmas, Good Friday and Eid are left.

Liberals fought hard to remove any entanglement between public school and Christian religion, now these hypocrites can't add enough religious holidays to the schedule.

Wish my kids were in school and learning. Wish the School Board even cared about that.

Maybe you should send your kid to private. Homeschooling is also an option.

Maybe Public Schools should have a sensible schedule. I don't think that we have a month left this year were the kids have a full week of school every week. We have a few were there is only one short week but most have 2-3 weeks that are off or shortened. Say what you will about diversity but many kids need a more stable schedule.

Between Teacher Workdays and Religious holidays and Federal Holidays the kids are out of school in a way that is disruptive. Something needs to change. And yes, I filled out the survey. And I have looked at the survey results and it sure as hell looks to me like most parents are not happy with the schedule.

Actually, the first 3 weeks in December are full weeks.

And then time off so not a full month of school. The Winter Holiday is normal but the disruptions in September and October are new. January and February are traditionally a mess because it is near impossible to get back into a routine due to the various Federal Holidays and then snow days. Now we are extending that with extra days off in April.

The fall used to be reasonably stable but no more.

A complete mess.

My kid is fine but he doesn't have any issues and is chill and goes with the flow well. My friends kid with anxiety and ADHD is having issues with refusal this year because of all the disruptions. I can only imagine the trouble that kids with executive functioning issues are having because there are consistent changes to schedules.

It is unnecessary. Make these days O days where there are no tests or homework or assignments due. Let people who want to miss, miss without punishment, but stop disrupting the routines that are needed for lots of kids.

And if your high school kid needs the extra time to do the work and is stressed about the work load, revisit your kids workload.

+1. The calendar this year is not working for many families. Even our elementary school teacher said it was hard to get continuity.

Yes yes we know it's almost time to vote. We get who you are voting for

Get over yourself, OP. There’s still plenty of school days in the year.

We are enjoying the day off! My kids don’t learn that much at school anyway.
