Cartoon of two boys waiting at a bus stop. One is wearing swim trunks, a backpack and flip-flops. He says, “If they’re going to make me go to school in the summer, I’m going to dress like it’s still summer.”

I don’t know if the “balanced calendar” will help students raise their grades. But I do know for many, it has sure raised their ire!
