I saw on the Suffolk Public School website that there is an opportunity for parents to give feedback to the school system administrators about their perceptions and observations about SPS.  I hope and encourage every parent to take a few minutes and participate in this opportunity.  I’m jealous that you have a forum in which to express yourselves;  your opinions, reflections, observations, suggestions and concerns have been solicited. YEA!  I encourage you to participate.  If you don’t have anything in particular to say … could you say something for me?  :-)   

The following is an editorial comment … no one has solicited this comment, paid for it, supported it with advertisement, or even probably cares very much! :-)   BUT, if I was given the opportunity to express one thing, I would plead to get rid of this school day schedule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   It’s impossible for student and teacher alike.  When “focusing” is such a HUGE problem in the classroom, when there is such a high need for instant feedback and review pre and post test, how in the world can only seeing the student every other day possibly work for most students? 

Granted, I don’t know every teacher, but there isn’t one teacher that I’ve asked that has EVER expressed liking this schedule for any reason!  :-(    It certainly frustrates me!

Ahhhhhhhhhh … BUT … happy holidays!  :-)
