Petition for a Balanced Calendar in Cobb Schools

#307: - Re: NO to the balanced School Calendar 

 Why are we so desperate to hold onto the agraraian calendar how many of us really use our children for spring planting and August harvest?  Why are the nations that are educationally ahead of us so much better?? Even our children know the answer because they study other cultures from around the world.  Really people? Take money out of it for a moment, and look, we are falling behind on the world scale.  But it takes States and counties to change this and some have, our federal gov't is useless in the eduaction forum, it is not the current President or others in the past, they cannot affect the change that we can from the bottom up.  I thought Cobb's motto was "We lead, others follow".  Where are those forward thinkers now? I don't want to be Dekalb or Fulton,  but I can feel the suction from that drain already.  Good luck selling your house now.
