GET THE CHILDREN OUT OF YOUR HAIR?

Our Ohio governor, Ted Strickland, has generally impressed me since he took office. But his school plans? I particularly disagree with his plan for adding 22 more days to the school year.
Sure, forget that a child gains some education in life experience in places other than school. Forget that a family needs time together. Forget that a child can burn out on the stress of what, I believe, is eventually going to be 12 months a year of school...
Rats! from R.A.T. (Rose About Town), a mother(now grandmother) who enjoyed her children and tried hard not to subcontract them out to other entities.
