We were appreciative of that since my wife stays at home and can instruct.

(CRCT too if you think it has any relationship to what goes on in the classroom). That’s the bind we’re in–make up days don’t “count” if they don’t happen before these early testing events. Of course, they might actually involve real learning at the end of the year vs. test-prep learning but school systems and college-bound kids have to worry about the test results.

Or at least I assumed so. I guess they could make the kids go to school on President’s Day. Haven’t seen that done. I guess it’s not as taboo as making the kids go to school on Christmas or Thanksgiving.

They have the full week off, don’t they?
