Half Days of School...

My school adopted this new program this year, where once a month the students get a half day of school; they’re called Act 80 Days. We get to come in at the regular time, classes are shortened, we eat lunch early, and then we get to go home by one o'clock. The teachers, however, have to stay the rest of the school day and have a meeting about how they can improve their teaching style. For us students, these days are the greatest thing our school district could have done for us. I mean what high school student doesn't love to get out of school early. We have one this Thursday and then we have off Friday for a teacher’s in-service day, so this weekend will be a nice long one.
