"We should have three days of school a week and four days off!" one of my students suggested the other day, at least 24 hours before a snow storm came along and granted his wish.
Many of the kids in the class nodded in agreement. I didn't blame them; who wouldn't want more time off?
"You mean have three longer days in school?" I asked.
"No!" he shrugged. "Just three regular days."
There were more nods, but at least one of his classmates was not convinced. Frowning, he raised his hand. "What are you going to do about being dumb?"
