it could also be related to a agreement with the teachers during their strike.. and it could also be a financial issue.. the shorter the school year the less it costs to run a school (i know this was a big debate back in the summer during the strike.. the government was saving millions while the teachers were on strike)
The answer is simple: Mike Harris - remember him? He "jumped on" teachers and withdrew planning days and extended the school year. It would be interested to compare how children's competence between the two provinces compare - I bet that the BC group would be faring just as well - OH DON'T GET ME STARTED! (Ex teacher/Teachers' Union President/Principal) Whew - take deep breaths!Quote:

I DID manage to get an appointment to get my doggie checked out by the vet. He had a "sore butt" as the vet announced. Seems to be feeling better now, thank goodness!
yup here it seems kids have 1 pro-D day a month! (and ofcourse nearly 1 stat holiday a month too..)Quote:

Seems like it'll never end. Then of course in a few months I'll be complaining of the heat. lol
Never happy. Lol
Got loads on the agenda today.
Washing all the bedding, cleaning out the van, installing another lock on the front door - kid proofing it since DS is now tall enough to open the stair gate and get to the main door (we've had a top lock of the patio doors so be can't get out for about a year). I swear people are going to think we're nuts. lol. But he's a boy who likes adventure. lol. Gotta keep him contained. hahahaha
Good Morning everyone:) Seems we'll be losing that extra hour again this weekend!:)

The weekend is here :) Going to go see my friend and her baby tomorrow and go pick up the free 16x20 at Sears which came later than the rest of the photos.
I hear birds chirping. Wonder how they stand the winter.
I need to start looking for portrait deals. We always get the kids pics done between April and May.
Can't believe its almost that time already!
How I feel atm, followed by a hello.
