school's out...for fridays

in today's 'what the hell?!?" segment...

CNN reports:

In parts of the American West such as Salmon, sharply higher fuel prices have prompted a growing number of school districts to save money by shortening the school week to four days. School systems in such remote, sparsely populated areas, where school bus routes can stretch across many miles
and take hours to complete, say far higher transport and other energy-related expenses are squeezing already shrinking budgets.

So much for global competitiveness....

fix your jones for educational insanity @ education-world, the christian science monitor, and a school district in south dakota. (be sure to take note of the fact that no one can prove increased achievement)
