You could argue the HS could pull it off, but the elementary schools are not possible.

Or you could just lock the entrance from the gym to the rest of the building.

Math is hard, Barbie.

That's likely a fire hazard. Some of you need to recognize that you don't know as much as you think you do about the laws and regulations that schools operate under.

+100 it’s quite comical to see them coming up with all sorts of ideas that won’t work. Lol. School is cancelled. Deal with it.

Glad you think losing so many days is comical!

That's why parents are having less and less respect for the educational system.

So tell me why securing a door won't work. You could "lock" the door, or put one of the many many admin staff in the doorway to prevent access.

OMG is sooooooo hard.... so so hard so we must give up so that we can get an unearned day off.

FCPS is exceeding the state minimum number of hours. They are already providing above and beyond what they are legally required to do.

Can you stop saying this? FCPS has more or less failed students this year with their calendar. It has been disruptive to the point of being negligent. So what if they're meeting a cobbled legal floor? It does not mean they're doing more than the bare minimum.

Can you provide academic based evidence that shows that FCPS has "more or less failed students this year".

Are SAT scores down? Are graduation rates dropping? Are SOL scores predicted to be lower than in previous years? Are students projected to be held back at a higher rate?

I understand that you personally are angry, but appealing to emotion instead of providing actual data that supports your claim is what is needed to actually signal there is a need for change.

The funny thing is that we all made fun of Midwestern GOP controlled states that switched to 4 day weeks, and now we're supposed to celebrate it in a progressive district?

Literally by the definition of "bare minimum", they are doing more.

You can use a phrase improperly all you want, but you can't change the actual definition of words.

You need a hobby! Or a hot date with someone.

Lol because they understand how to properly use phrases?

Anecdotally, my child who receives Special Education hours has missed a lot of his service hours because of these closures, TWDs, snow delays. The school tries to make them up but it typically comes at a cost and even then, they are behind.

He thrives on routine but nothing has been routine about school this year. He is self -sufficient and old enough that this isn't about care but it is 100% about academic intervention which the school hasn't been able to provide because the calendar is so mangled.

When you say compromise, what exactly do you mean?

FCPS has already announced what is going to happen.

A compromise meaning FCPS gets some of what they want (not school) and parents get some of what they want (school) in doing so FCPS acknowledges that they have some responsibility to be accountable for choices they make.

What reasons would FCPS have for not wanting school? People keep saying this in these threads with no reasoning or support to explain why that would be so.
