I am now of the firm opinion that the last day of school should be kept a secret from all those involved and announced suddenly three minutes before the end of the year.
this way...you would avoid teachers (such as myself) pining for the end with 93% of their heart, soul and chi, thus and therefore TOTALLY giving up on teaching...
and kids flipping their collective shits counting down the moments til freedom.
no more of this ice cream and lemonade party bullshit that has them climbing the walls. no more field days that burn and exhaust them only to send them home to finish up three projects and study for finals...
and no more pools opening, garden parties and fairs before the end hath officially come.
my daughter is, at this very moment, pouting like a mofo because she can't go to yet ANOTHER spring-time fun-time event because she still has reading to do...all the while exhausted out of her mind from staying up late last night to finish up a project neglected all weekend (don't look at me. she was at her father's house) for more pool-like pursuits.
three. more. days. for. her...
then summer REALLY begins...and I might not be so bored.
...just annoyed :D
