What needs to happen is that the kids SHOULD GO TO SCHOOL MONDAY and override MLK day. We never had MLK off school in the Northeast and it didn't affect us one bit by attending. When John F. Kennedy was assinated did we get a day off for that? NO!! And he was the PRESIDENT of this country!!!
Also, January 21 should be a HALF day for the kids and 1/2 day for teacher work day. We need to recind these bogus holidays.
Make up days on Saturdays are assinine. Those of us with children who have extra curricular games or activities will have to miss out.
This also interferes with parents' custodial visitations and creates a substantial inconvenience for all parties involved.
