I suspect most of the chronically cranky do actually understand they’re accessing pretty elite public education, otherwise they’d seek out alternative options. Rather I think this thirstiness to be so pessimistic and toxic are just part of their personalities at this point, these are the same people who complain after they finish their meal.

They don’t know what they want, they just know that someone, somewhere is the reason they’re unhappy.
This. My kid had a great first week and seems to love his teacher. I truly believe the majority of the negativity comes from a small portion of the population or trolls. Not saying FCPS doesn’t have things to fix, but let’s focus on the positive more!

Yeah, ‘cause it’s the fault of FCPS that the General Assembly passed a law requiring a holiday on the Friday before Labor Day. And Labor Day, pffft … Leftists.
Do you have an “I’m an idiot” sticker on your forehead so you can warn unsuspecting people?
Maybe we should go back to starting after Labor Day.
Who's the idiot now?

I'm more concerned with all the behaviors my kids are telling me about in the classroom....I'd rather have 4 days where the teacher can teach and not have to deal with evacuating. Otherwise it's just 5 days of babysitting.
I've read about this a lot here, but it's definitely not happening everywhere. The worst thing that happened in my kid's class was a couple kids got assigned seating for talking during class.
Same, we haven’t seen those behaviors at all. It was a great first week, FCPS (especially the unexpectedly smooth first week bus transportation).

Pretty sure they passed that as a compromise to enable schools to start before Labor Day. I don't like it either, but I'd rather start early than go late in June.
Unfortunately, FCPS has added so many days off during the year, that it negates the advantage of beginning early.

Most weeks this year are five-day weeks, so they definitely are not rare.
I hope your passive-aggressive post made you feel special.
+1. I am so tired of these lame attacks in FCPS.

I was surprised by the number of 5 day weeks this year. I was trying to plan a trip over a three day break for Scouts and there were only four weekends I could identify through to Thanksgiving. Labor Day is a state mandated 4 day weekend so you can’t blame FCPS for that. I was expecting a ton more.
