At the moment, the Houston ISD is seeking input from people about the 2017-18 school calendar. It's cool to see the district listening to the people on this issue that affects so many. It also gave my math students a great chance to learn about being a member of a community. We talked about how being a community member sometimes means voicing your opinion about situations.
To highlight this, we took a vote in class after discussing the calendar options. Here are the results of our poll:
Option A- 16 students
Option B- 38 students
Option C(no preference)- 3 students
It will be interesting to see how the calendar looks when it is finalized.
