Re: Adding length to the school day and days taught
Posted by Jessica on 7/07/07

The last I heard was that Ms. Garrett was going to make an annoucement at
the Superindent get together that she does every year to see how well it
goes over. I personally think we as teachers need to email and call her
office to give our educated opinions about these changes. She made the
statement that many schools in OK end their day at 2:30 and that she has
seen school busses in the mall parking lots during the school day. I
wonder if she has considered that possibly that school bus is a vo-tech bus
from out of town that is not wasting fuel while the driver waits for the
students to get out of class. I also wonder exactly how many schools in OK
get out at 2:30 and what time they started in order to do that. My school
lets out at 3:10 and because ALL of our students ride a bus some don't get
home until after 4:00. I agree that she needs to spend time in our schools
away from OKC. Nothing against you guys down there but there is a lot more
to OK schools than the big city schools.
