  Case: 160 day calendar
A school has decided to go to a 160 day calendar. Some teachers feel that this time limit will hinder some students with their progress in school. Other teachers have expressed how much they have enjoyed having a longer summer and shorter school year. The system has chased power standards to be taught at each grade level. Should the teachers who disagree with this decision express how they feel now, or should they wait to see how students perform on state assessments?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I feel that they should see how students are going to perform before making complaints about the academic calendar.
