Last week I missed the announcement that Finland is opening schools for the last two weeks of their school year. Yay for them!!! I truly wish the US were doing the same. Opening for 2-3 weeks, even such a short time is needed and would be helpful. Honestly, I would be supportive of holding that last, missed semester this summer. Holding 6 weeks of school through June/July. Oh those kids... and those teachers. We are in for such a mess this Fall. Struggles abound as kids were automatically passed to the next grade no matter what their skills, knowledge or grades were as of the first of March.
