I can't get over the irony. Statewide, we're arguing two of the best school systems in the USA, over a few "wasted" days. Obviously, to me, the days are wasted and school administrators should go back to generating quality "product" and get over the hangup on number of days. If my child is sick and misses five days in the winter, s/he doesn't have to make it up in June. Why should we do this arbitrary stuff about snow days? or 185 vs. 180 days?
