Ok, can someone please explain this?
Tomorrow is the last day of school for the kiddos. The middle kid goes to school for an hour and half. The youngest goes for just an hour. The oldest has a final to take and will be done at 10:30 a.m.
Can anyone explain the logic in firing up the buses, rounding up the teachers and turning on the lights to gather a bunch of students together to do–
Nothing.
I’d like to meet the brilliant guy/gal or group of people who came up with this idea.
“We have to send the kids to school a certain number of days/hours– we have an hour left over, let’s just tack it on to the last day.”
The Illinois governor just announced that we have to figure out how to balance a $60 million dollar budget that is two billion dollars out of balance. So, instead of dragging our kids out of bed and putting them on gas-guzzling buses to sing songs for an hour, why don’t we tack that hour on to one of those “half-day” scenarios that keep popping up throughout the year?
It might not make much of a dent in a two-billion dollar budget, but it sure beats wasting a perfectly good day with nothing to do.
