> Here in NYS, kids get up at 5:30 am to get to school at 7:00. They eat lunch at 10:30. The whole thing is ridiculous.
My 5 yo grandson brought home a note 2 weeks ago instructing parents to send their kids to school even if they are sick so that their class can have a shared illness experience.
This tells me the funding they get for attendance is more important than the health of the children and the health of the families of the children whose parents have to work.
Dumbest thing I've ever heard!
I'm in education. There are some of us that don't agree with Common Core, zero Tolerance, and many other namby pamby daffodil policies!
I also believe that kindergarteners should be allowed more good old fashioned playing and less "They need to be able to write a 5 paragraph essay before 1st grade" attitude.
