So I get kind of sick of school sometimes. We come here every week day from early morning to mid-afternoon, and just sit and work, with only a half-hour lunch break. It's just so... boring!

Then I hear about foreign schools who have to learn for the entire day for morning until night with hardly any breaks. I guess compared to that I can't complain at all!

In France, the school system is, to me, a happy medium. They attend school Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and skip Wednesday. Each day they get about an hour and a half for lunch, which means they can get lots of late work done and be able to turn it in in time, or work ahead on projects. It's such a fabulous idea, and I wish we did it!
