The same thing happens. My kids get the whole week. Week previous is phoned in.

You're problem is believing that's what actually happened.

This could explain the average entering freshman GPA at BYU in recent years?

Special classes and honors classes aren't the same thing.

Not all teachers/schools are the same

days before holidays are pretty worthless. Wouldn't read much into it.

It's not meant to be education. It's daycare under the label of "school."

Interesting take Ted.

Not my experience and in some of the same locations.

Choke

Would you share said research?

Tweege

Let me see what I can find Tweege. This was in Chicago IIRC.

Choke

ChinaFan

Exactly

Cougrrrs Roll
