Or, tell you teens to go to bed or take a nap.


Yeah, you know it doesn’t work that way.

It’s just a selfish parent who’d rather complain than parent.

I think the issue is that teachers would prefer to be able to go home early if they don’t need to be there.

Have schools tried opening late the two days (Monday and Tuesday) during Thanksgiving holiday break, instead of having early dismssal on the two days? Same for any other early dismissal days on the calendar.


Frederick does this for parent conferences, they do 3/4 hour late arrival days.


What time do they start the school day on those days? A few hours to sleep would be glorious.

My kids would love a late opening instead of an early dismissal, but to keep things simple, MCPS tries to keep things consistent and only have 2 hour delayed openings or early dismissal 2 1/2 hours early. Either p/t conferences would have to fit into a shorter period in the mornings or MCPS would have to introduce a whole new delayed opening time.

My kids are in ES so I was so confused by the question. I love early release days. School is already too late
