Rant

[uforgot]

I am with you Veronica. I was just mentioning this morning that wouldn't it be nice if the superintendent said "Oh, we counted wrong, you can go home tomorrow!" The kids are just as tired of me as I am of them. Unfortunately, we still have testing schedules and standards to be met. I still have tons of material I am expected to cover and meanwhile the legislature is breathing down my neck telling me that every one of Missouri's students needs to be a rocket scientist.

3 more weeks.

Totally understand.
Many years, school here in MA was not over until June 25th. It was torture, especially since schools here are not air conditioned. I always had lots of hands on activities and group things, but after May 15th, it was most of the work. My last big writing piece would be due no later than June 1st-5th. I gave lots of choice and lots of work for the last 2-3 weeks.
Riding to school 2 days a week kept me sane.
