Because there was so much snow this winter, the children missed way too many days from school. Frankly, there were at least 3 days when I think they could have gone to school. But those wimps at the school board declare a snow day if there is even one speck of snow on the ground.
So now the kids have to make up those lost days. They blockheads at the school board decided to cut 4 days off of the spring break schedule and make the kids go to school instead of spending quality time with their families.
