True. The students went home early every Monday.

Agreed. And we seem to have a shitload of these stupid early release days this year.

Yet, I am sure your precious snowflakes are there for any half-days.

SCHOOL IS NOT DAYCARE PPL!

If school is open, my kid is most likely there. I can think of maybe 2 days in 4+ years that we took her out for travel purposes.

Isn't it the same number as last year?

It used to be that people complained about early closing on Monsays.

I thought the VA schools forum was more sensible than the MD one. Turns out I was wrong. Same ridiculousness on the other side of the river.

Our private is closed. And college junior is home. Nice for the holidays.

I think it's one of those days that they know lots of kids will be gone, but it isn't a federal holiday and you have to account for snow days. But, like PPs said, if it were closed Wed you'd have people wondering why they can't be closed Tues or the whole week.

We should be in school on December 24th. Why give the day before a holiday off anyway? I'm from here so I could care less about people who might have to travel anyway.

Could or couldn't care less?

From another thread, different school schedules throw off all of the specialist's schedules. So if FCPS is trying to save money and be most effective, what's with all the partial weeks and half days? Don't we have enough disruption with the snow days?
