Delayed Math Skills

Posted on February 2, 2007 By Tom No Comments on Delayed Math Skills
Rants, Things Overheard

The following is an amalgam of actual phone calls received at our district office this morning…

We’re on a two hour delay, right?  What, exactly does that mean?

Just add two hours to the start time. 

If my child’s school starts at 7:45, do I bring him at 10:00 or at 9:45?

9:45 

Well, what time will the buses come by?

Two hours later than they normally would?

I don’t see no other kids out waiting for the bus.  Are you sure it’s on time?

Ma’am, it’s not time for the bus to arrive yet. 

…and we wonder why our math scores are lagging.
