My kids started back to school last week on August 11, which is so totally stupid. Over the years their first day of school has gradually shifted from late August (mildly stupid) to the current start date (totally stupid). They go back to school a full three weeks before Labor Day, which used to be [...]

Last days of school

The last days of school this year were added on because our school system ran out of scheduled snow days. Unfortunately for students, books were returned, final exams were taken, and seniors all graduated on schedule according to the original school calendar, which meant little to no learning was done to make up for the missed days. I [...]
Computer eats grades

My children’s school corporation lost their grades over spring break and the software that lets parents view grades online isn’t working.

My kids go to a middle school and a high school where parents can track their grades over the Internet with EdEase software. I love it! It’s great. It’s even better than sliced bread. They can no longer hide bad grades or missing assignments from me and blame it on the teacher or another kid. [...]

We’ve been teased with the prospect of snow after Tuesday’s severe weather passed. Local weather people said a mix of rain/sleet/ice/snow was possible Thursday night into Friday morning. At 1:45 am and 3 am this morning, my weather radio blared a winter storm warning for our area. What was I supposed to do, take cover?
