#638: Christine Durrett - Balanced Calendar 

 Dear Parent, I am a long term teacher at South cobb High School and want you to know that your comment hits the nail on the head.  I am so glad that parents are also realizing the value of the breaks.  We do indeed, as teachers, have time to carefully plan units that fit into the time segments, time to refresh. I do not have to keep cramming new material day after day, week after week, and mionth after month to tired students who are held captive and told to learn, learn, learn just one more concept.  Learning is hard.  It takes time to assimilate before we refocus on new concepts.  Thank you. Mrs. L. White, Spanish teacher.
