Don't say you weren't warned. This may be the totality of the warning – but here it is! 

Send in your comments – because the conventional wisdom has it this is a 'done deal ' …even if the air conditioning at your school isn't up to it and August is too hot on the playground! 

  • The bright kids will figure out they are being cheated out of two weeks of summer vacation they will never get back …but bright kids like school! 
  • This also cuts two weeks from the summer maintenance schedule of schools
  • … while substantially improving the schedule of 'teaching to the test'!
