Those Early Release Days
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A DeKalb County school board member has asked the administration to consider eliminating them next year, saying they are a nightmare for working parents and that early release days provide little benefit for teachers.
Teachers, do you need early release days (where kids attend school for just half a day, leaving teachers the rest of the day to get stuff done or hold parent conferences)? Parents, are early release days a major pain?
THANKS FOR PLAYING: I appreciate my Get Schooled readers, and one lucky one will get a gift as a token of my appreciation. I have a book called “Thinking Games for Kids,” for kids 3 - 12. Authors claim it will help with reading, phonemic awareness, math, memory, critical cognitive skills. The first person to e-mail me at pghezzi@ajc.com gets this valuable prize. (THIS PRIZE HAS BEEN CLAIMED…STAY TUNED FOR MORE OPPORTUNITIES AS MORE SCHOOL-RELATED BOOKS LAND ON MY DESK)
