I think you are right, I don't...Hi Mrs. Parker,<br />I think you are right, I don't think the "suits" are looking at the loss involved with cutting days. All they look at is numbers, though I don't know how they think numbers will get better when kids aren't in school?!?!

How sad...

Since I started teaching 9 years ago, our program has gone from 230 days to 217 to now, 204 days. We have 180 days of regular school year and our summer program has now been cut from 5 to 3 days per week, because of funding, too, of course. I can't imagine going even less! Our summer program (3 days) is now purely maintenance and we hope kids don't lose skills...forget about teaching anything new in that time! It's sad that this is happening in regular ed settings, too.<br /><br />Kara<br /><a href="http://spedventures.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Spedventures</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
