We wonder why our students in public schools are not learning. Perhaps it’s because they are in school so few days. Below is the schedule for Loudoun County Public schools. And it doesn’t even count the number of snow days, movie days, early dismissal days, and the 10 weeks off in the summer when they forget much of what little they’ve learned. Why are students still on an agrarian calendar designed over a 100 years ago? How many students still need the summers off to work the family farm?

The results of year around education are huge and measurable. IF ya are taught to goof off as a child you will be stymied to learn. We continue to go lower, in the world, ranking the results of our education system. We need to reprioritize the importance of learning and stop manipulation of the system.
I hope you are right.
I insist that you stop the person known originally as Old Redneck from posting. He is now using my screen name… it is okay as he is trying to be funny. But as you know over the years you had to ban him, he gets very weird and he engages in threatening comments… he has guns… he knows where the magatards are. You have banned him many times. Do so now.
So the village idiot John Fredericks has spent the last two years bashing Winsome Sears for being a “never Trumper” and now he’s done a big 180 and is falling all over himself to endorse her futile run for governor? What happened? Who bribed whom with what?
I got some bad news for you phony Vietnam Veteran.. bet you wear camo lacy panties…
The average person could give a rat’s butt about the Swamp Critters losing their funding in the DC swamp. You claim to live in rural Va… why… go live with you people and celebrate Tranny Story hour in Fairfax…
How is it where you live? Where I live in rural VA.. people shop at Dollar General. In the suburbs of NoVa… they shop at luxury stores… Nordstroms… exotic car dealerships.
That is based upon the billions of dollars of spending that doesn’t make it even three hours away where I live..
do you think that people living in the brutal economic reality of the real world that the Swamp has created for them care that they are now living in the same reality and not the cozy government spending cocoon. they have there?
Oh muh Democrat party!!! What do they represent you dumb water head except the D side of the uniparty swamp?
Go look at the relative wealth of all the Democrats who spend years in Congress.. AND I am not saying its not the same for the filthy GOP Swamp creatures who do the same…
But cutting their little world off is a good thing isn’t it, dumbass?
I am sorry for my insults. I didn’t have my drugs today. Now that I’ve taken my meds, I can see hoelw wrong I am and how right Democrats are.
Trump is awful. I should have voted for Harris
You wear camo lacy panties and march in the parade, Old Redneck..
I am so sorry for my insults. Thank you for your service.
Trump is an idiot and so am I.
Is that statewide? I can understand why Loudon county wants that. It makes it easier to infect the children with liberal disease. Hopefully the other grown-up counties have a better grip on their schedules.
