Personally, I think they should have let the kids have a day off, and

and cut about 20% of the dead wood.

But that's just me.

I know a teacher who's near 30 years service who is retiring because he
has to follow a syllabus on what to teach, which includes things that
have nothing to do with the subject he is teaching. A loss. I have a
son who just graduated college looking for a job, and who I think would
make a good teacher. Lots of people who would make good teachers out
there, and a lot of tenured POS's who need to be led away from the
trough. If they cut the dead weight, believe me, there would be no
shortage of applicants.

LOL, I haven't heard such a great argument *for* tenure in years. Tenure
allows teachers to teach, without having to deal with BS like yours.
