Why

It's a billion and one degrees around here. We have something called an extreme excessive heat warning today. The high was 114 degrees farenheit (aka BEYOND miserable). It is so hot that my seat belt buckle burned me through my dress on my hip during my afternoon commute. It is so hot recess had to be shortened to 10 minutes in the shade with no running (loads of fun). It is so hot.

Why, in God's name, does a city THIS hot begin school THIS early (we are now in our third week)? By the end of parent pick-up today, I was in a puddle on the ground.

AMEN. I didn't even feel sorry for my kids today when we missed morning recess so we could go do DIBELS. As much as they asked for it- most of them didn't seem to mind too much eaither. It's so freaking hot here in AZ! (Of course... it was super nice to have those beautiful days in May during the summer.)

I actually think we should go to school in the summer when it's too hot to go outside anyway and take breaks in the autumn and/or winter when it's so lovely outside. Of course, that does not take into account recess and unreliable air conditioners...
