Story: Some Calif. kids may get 34 extra school days
Basically, the school has short days to allow teachers to get extra work done. However, by state law these "short days" were too short, and didn't count as school days at all. Therefore, the kids and teachers need to make them up...all of them. So much for summer! A fourth grader from the school sums it up best- "[I]think it's dumb that [we] have to go to school for these extra days because some lady messed up." That's about right son, that's about right.>
