Petition for a Balanced Calendar in Cobb Schools
Guest |
/ #275 Re: Reality Check2012-01-19 23:47Absolutely! As a community, we need to focus on education and not how many breaks we get a year! Georgia's educational ranking should dictate what we need to focus on, and a balanced calendar is not it. Officials need to look at states whose students perform well in school and adopt the same practices that they do. Let's focus on what we can do to improve the quality of our children's education. More parents need to volunteer at the schools to help enrich learning at school. Parents need to make school a priority, not sports or free time. Ask the children what they did on their "break". Most kids will tell you that they played video games, watched television, and stayed up late. It takes at least three or four days for children to adapt after school restarts after a break, which means that most of them are not productive. And let's not forget the countdown to the next break! Let's send our kids to school in the beginning of August, when it is so miserably hot outside, that the students cannot go outside for recess and ride non- air conditioned buses to and from school. Yes, Cobb County residents, let's WASTE more time on this ridiculous issue! Adoption of a calendar that is more aligned with the rest of the country will allow us to mimic states with an effective educational system and give year end exams at the end of the school year. CRCT exams are given six weeks before the end of the school year, so our students think that they have completed the school year at that point. Unfortunately, that's true. So, curriculum that is supposed to taught in a 180 day school year is taught in 150 days.....When will that be addresses?? |
