Keep teaching through May
He's not alone. In the last two weeks my son has watched four movies, and they weren't the educational kind. It's not much better at the high school. For some reason, the students needed to watch a movie in study hall instead of studying for finals.
Some of my children's teachers are doing an excellent job of continuing to teach through the end of the year. My first-grader is really enjoying the butterfly unit in her class. My fourth-grader is learning all about different careers. My 12th-grader had an essay due today in his AP English class. I just wish every teacher were as motivated to use this valuable time.
