I too find 2 weeks and 2 days to be a bit of an exaggeration. Both of my children still had homework…Read More up until this week, tests were still being taken last week. This will I can see the movies being watched, as field days were taking place the first two days of this week, and today will be the 5th grade recognition.

I wish 2 weeks and 2 days was an exaggeration. My daughter has had no homework during this time, no…Read More spelling, no tests. Just talk about movies (which we've been keeping a list of so I remember not to rent them during rainy days in summer) and packing boxes. I understand that cleaning the classroom at the end of the year helps to build a feeling of community and allows for reminiscence about the the year they have completed. However, I think doing this during the last week of school is acceptable, not for the entire month of June. From reading the above comments, I find some comfort in knowing that other classrooms are not having this issue.

My question to you would be...Have you contacted your child's teacher first before asking other's…Read More opinions? This is a prime example of why certain people should not be allowed to post on forums! You "Concerned Parent" If you had this complaint in November it may be valid if it was true. However, the last week or so of school is a winding down period of time in all schools. Homework tends to end as teachers get to the end of their curriculum. Just because a student doesn't have homework doesn't mean they are just watching movies all day. I volunteer my time at CRS and have been in the 5th grade room many times this month. I can tell you from my point of view things seem fairly busy. Besides, having students do "busy work" is in my opinion is an even bigger waste of time! Also...If you think for a minute this could be a reason for the bottom 30 label, you are just plain crazy!

Very interested in this dining set. What is the asking price and when can I take a look?
On the other hand, I have read a few articles my friend Chris has written that might have been proofed better or run through the spellchecker... Lol - then again they probably don't pay him enough for all the hours he puts in.
