They all have come down with terrible cases of "Monday-itis". Or "Friday-itis".
I just got the schedule for my son's upcoming school year.
There is not a single month of uninterrupted classes.
There is a PD every single month (two in one month) except for May and that's likely because there is a statutory holiday in May here in Canada.
This is a disgraceful abuse of a disgusting "benefit", but hey-it's ALL FOR THE CHILDREN, right?
