However, as a teacher, I find it frustrating to schedule two and a half lightweight days to accommodate all of the mysterious "illnesses" that coincide with this holiday week. It's an open secret in our school community that the students are leaving for holiday vacations early, but their parents are calling them in sick. Our principal has directed the attendance secretary to excuse only "sick" kids, but she told teachers that those two and half days we're to only give work that can be made up independently using a textbook. I'd rather just close the entire week and go three extra days in June.
That would be awesome. Maybe you should tell the school board.
