Incredible

Finally, Spring Break has arrived!

Spring break should have started three days ago, which was when all the teachers decided to quit teaching and start showing videos.

The teachers have two main responses to why they show movies in class:
1. It is a well deserved break for hard working kids
2. It fits into the curriculum

Now, the "well deserved break" excuse is just really silly. Isn't that the point of Spring Break? Why don't we just start Spring Break three days early and not show up at all? The kids could all sit in their pjs and pop in a video and get the same education right in their very own living room.

As for the curriculum excuse--it sounds good, but does it really happen? You judge.

Here are the movies I saw this week.
The Incredibles. 5 times.
X-Men 2
The Indian in the Cupboard

I pulled Ace Ventura out of a teacher's VCR. The class next door was watching Kermit the Frog. Napoleon Dynamite was playing somewhere on campus.

Very educational, folks!

Oh wait. I already did.
