/ #213 For the balanced calendar

2012-01-17 18:20

As a parent and employee of Cobb County, I can say the balanced calendar is wonderful. The students and teachers are renewed with the breaks. Absenteeism is less with students and teachers. The balanced calendar was originally a 3 year study to see if test scores, absenteeism improved. 3 years did not happen. As a parent, employee of the county, getting out a couple of days before Christmas is unacceptable. Having my own kids having final exams on the last day before break at the last period of the day is also unacceptable as well.
At least make the decision based on education, not your own personal agenda. Get off of the Texass band wagon, which most of our board is on. Hopefully, most of the board will only have one term.
