What happens when you child gets reluctant to starting school after a trackout?
This question is in homage to Track 3 tracking back in here in Wake county, NC. Track 2 tracks out. Elementary schools and some middle schools run on a multi-track year round schedule here in Wake County. yet, there will be some kids on Track 3 that will dread tomorrow. What steps will you take if your child doesn't wanna get out of bed or start school for yet another 9 weeks of school? Thank gawd I never had to deal with the multi-track year round schedules.

Hi neighbor! I teach for in Wake County and LOVE the year round schedule. Track out dread has to be easier than back-after-a-whole-summer-off dread. In traditional schools, those kids come back knowing they have a whole 9 months of school ahead of them, with few breaks The year-round kids know that in 9 weeks they will be off again, and that's what I would tell my child if she was dreading it. It is also easier this time of year because Thanksgiving and Christmas break are coming up. Why are you worried about it if you don't have kids in year-round? Are you just trying to start a year-round debate?
My kids were on track 3 and I loved it. Not only did they only have to go 9 weeks on a full track in, there were only two of those a year. The one in the winter and the one in the summer were broken up by holidays / grade changes, and as the mother of ADD kids it helped a LOT. They could focus and there was enough change to keep them interested. We could take great vacations and mix it up with learning opportunities at home. I would never go back to traditional if I were to do this again.
