Education / Teaching thread

Get in the Carr said
I have been with my kid at his pre
school for just an hour and it made me appreciate teachers even more which was already at high level of appreciation. Teachers should be paid more especially at the public school level. However, the school breaks and summer need to be shorter. Many people equate teacher pay to all of the days off they get. Maybe we should think outside the box and not have a break in education?

I am a HUGE advocate for the "year-round" school. we have exactly ONE in my district. My kids went there until 4th grade.
Basically they go to school from Early August until mid June, so they have a 6 week summer. Much less learning loss. They still go to school for the same amount of days, but they have extra breaks built into the school year. We would do Beach trips in October, and we did Disney in February. During the intersessions they offer fun educational "camps."
