I was going to post a snarky comment about the Kingston school district's ridiculous decision to make up a snow day by scheduling a day of classes in the middle of spring break, but a friend of my 17-year-old son said it best in his Facebook status:

"The people who set the school day schedule deserve a gold star — cleverly making the Monday of spring break a school day when it's likely attendance will be abysmal. Genius! And the Monday after that is off? I envy their extraordinary organizational skills."

Amen.
