Because I am cool like that. What's the point? It's not like they learn anything.
What? Horrible mother!? Oh,wait. I may need to clarify. What I meant to say was that I don't make my kids go to school on the last day of school. Better?
Why? I have my reasons.
For starters, there isn't going to be any learning happening that day. How do I know this? Because the non-learning has already started. Each of my children, and I am not exaggerating, have at least 2 parties and a play date in the next 10 days. Yeah no learning.
Plus the teachers are practically begging them to stay. Heck, they told them, "If you come on Tuesday, we are just going to be cleaning the room." And we all know what kind of power a phrase like "clean our room" has on children. They run away. Far away.
I don't think the school district wants my kids to come to last day of school. Heck, they made the last day of school the day after Memorial Day. Are you kidding me?? I know it was a snow day, but why not make school start one day earlier to avoid it becoming a sluff day.
But the real reason we ditch? I want a jumpstart to my summer!! Plus, it's become a family tradition...our own family party. We sleep in...or at least
Do you make your kids go?
