What concerns me more is that fact they consider a day of playful
dressup and celebration a waste.  I did manage to learn my alphabet
and arithmatic, even with a *single* day of dress up and candy.  We
even paraded around the school, each grade, to see the other costumes.
 To call a single day off as a waste is a very Scrugg view of the
earth.  Elementary school needs social events as much as scholarly (if
you can call elementary school scholarly ::grin::).  

The world cannot always be serious and driven.  You need time off at
times, even during school, to remember life is more than just
learning.  I guess that is when I agree with Europe in all the days
they get off from work.  Life is more than just your accomplishments.
