If you Can't Ban Them...

Former Ed Sec Arnie Duncan called for parents to boycott schools until something is done about gun violence.

Actually, we're all for boycotting schools, but for different reasons.

Ban schools, not guns, we always say and we mean it.

That's probably unrealistic...

[Probably?-Ed]

But this is an intriguing idea:

About 550 public school districts in 24 states across the Great Plains and western states — half are in Colorado, Oklahoma, Montana and Oregon — have a four-day week, according to the National Conference for State Legislatures. And the trend is growing: In Oklahoma, there were twice as many schools on the four-day schedule this academic year than there were last year.

The article sites budgetary reasons and what not.

We don't really care about that.

How many of you people reading this blog hated school? Loathed school? Just wanted to shoot yourself in the foot as Sunday evening rolled around?

Yeah, us too.

Wouldn't you have traded another hour and a half on the school day for another day off? We would have.

Hell, we would have done our homework for that.
