Education & Reference - 19 January 2007

I'm sitting here in Oklahoma and I can't go any place because of the ice and snow. It's a beautiful thing to look at, and nature won over the bug problem this year. However our schools have been closed for a week. People are fighting viruses that are seasonal, and it's hard to go any place. I truly think it would be a great idea if schools let out December through February for the annual break. Then started the new school year in March. I think it would be an attitude changer for folks to start all of that just before Spring. That way everybody would not have to rush for Christmas and the old year could end with the holiday of Thanksgiving. What do you think?

Hi,
My son is 10 and is in elementary school, his teacher always centers him out and just today we had some snow for the first time this year and all the kids got to go sledding on the hill at the back of the school. The teacher told my son that because he didn't have boots or snowpants he had to stay at the school and read meanwhile the whole school got to go outside and have fun. Since this is the first day we have had snow i haven't seen a need to buy my son new boots or snowpants but he does have a warm winter coat, hat, scarf and mittens. Do you think his teacher was justified in making my son stay in while the whole school was out sledding?

Hi before I ask anything I am going to ask that those of you looking at this please don't make fun of me, this is a serious question and I need some help. It is one of my teacher's birthdays and I want to make it really special for her, she has done a lot for me (helped me with college and other issues) and I just want this to be nice for her more then anything, so I am wondering if anyone knows how to make it a perfect day for her? I would just write her a really nice birthday card thanking her and telling her how much I appreciate everything she has done for me but I do that on a regular basis to make sure she knows how much I appreciate it so I need something more then that. Any suggestions would be nice. Thank you
