I have been keeping up with this in the news for a couple years now. I figured I would post my findings here on this law. Seems there are a lot of people that want this law thrown out. But luckily, there are people who don't! Here is the latest news on the subject. http://www.washingtonian.com/blogs/capitalcomment/local-news/kings-dominion-law-still-reigns-in-virginia.php
The Kings Dominion Law
- Thread starter MAZ
- Start date
It's criminal to force children back into the mediocre government-run prisons schools before the month of September.
I never thought it made any sense to start school prior to Labor Day anyway. Plus, the end of August is a great time for VA families to go to Florida, because most kids elsewhere are back in prison.
I don't really see a difference, we're all in jail school for the same amount of time. Does it matter when you start or end, as long as those dates are around the beginning and end of summer?
It always did to me as a kid, and it certainly does to me as a parent.
Speaking of which, I need to get started on my summer assignments(yeah, I procrastinated a bit, but I always get everything done). So everybody stop posting, so I won't be tempted to read the forums.
I feel, things like this should not be changed. Consistency in schedule is key to consistent planning and learning. Not to mention, the parks will lose daily operations earlier! Ahhh! Lets hope CF turned enough profit this year to pay off the politicians.
Oy, I had to read two three-hundred page novels and write reports on them. And then I have a test on both at the end of September.
