What good is the “balanced” calendar?
01/11/2006 – This is a tough one. Some families have told us they like the year round schedule because of their particular schedules. Also, we have heard some teachers say they want a break in the middle of the year. However, since… • there is no educational benefit • the majority of families do not have schedules that fit the schedule • AP and other teachers who have been around a while don’t like it • our kids should be the focus of this issue, not parents or teachers • there are dozens of unanswered quuestions and concerns …it doesn’t seem to us that any justification exists for this plan.
