Stupid.

Our state legislature decided to take out half days from the school year. Which sucks. There are only 4, but still. Any other states doing this? I live in Indiana, by the way.

You know what's stupid? having half days. It's hard for the busses to run and for people to get rides home and all kinds of ****. a total inconvenience.

NFD · 03-26-2009, 04:46 PM

Well like, it's for teachers to catch up on their work.

Quigly · 03-26-2009, 04:49 PM

You only have 4? Then why the hell are you complaining about it? It won't make much of a difference.

PS my school has around 20 half days WHAT.

**MooMoo_Cowfreak** · 03-26-2009, 04:50 PM

Oh I thought you meant they were taking away half the days from your school year.

NFD · 03-26-2009, 04:50 PM

We get one for each quarter, although we use trimesters.

OMG its HIM · 03-26-2009, 04:56 PM

wow that really sucks, im glad nothing like that is happening in Virginia

Syhto · 03-26-2009, 04:58 PM

well teachers have a shorter work day in reality than most people, they should just make time to grade. Plus, most of them have off periods to grade, and the weekend. A lot of people have to work the weekend. It isn't that hard to get grading done. And 4 days out of the year? if it were that urgent for them and thats the only reason I see why they took it away.

Well, lately we've been having a lot of snow days. Our school year was extended a week because of it.

And so true. I never saw a reason for schools to use half days in the first place (in the states). It should either be a teacher work day and give students the day off or not. Overcomplicating things is funny.

You should try being in school an extra month because of all the bad weather that helped destroy the roof of the school. xDDD

This is kind of a must 'cause schools need to have at least so many days of school in the year. Is it like around 220ish days?

I personally would have loved to go to school in japan. Half days on Saturday is nothing but sexy. ;D

God damn I'm sad I live so close to you NFD. And stop bitching I haven't had half days since 6th grade, I'm a junior.
