1) delete the take our sons and daughters to school day. [by annrock on March 13, 2003]
Rather than exempt students from school for take our children to school day we should reexamine the need for this interruption in the school year. Considering the miserable literacy rates and poor mathematical skills of many students they would be better served having phonics, multiplication tables and true American history.

2) What does this bill [by Anonymous Citizen on March 13, 2003]
say? Does it mean that this day would, or would not, be counted in the 180 day requirement even if more than one-qwarter of the students are absent? I do not think it should be counted. This is just another example of how schools get involved in anything, and everything, other than teaching math, reading, science etc. It is no wonder that our kids leave school without these basic skills. Then, schools demand more and more money saying that they do not have enought resources to get the job done!
