Melessa, I used to get the impression they thought I was a bad person for doing EPGY after school. Because I was depriving them of half an hour of bike riding time in favor of education, and they were depriving them of SIX HOURS of bike riding time in favor of learning to be patient and sit quietly without anything to do.

Not that patience and quiet sitting aren't good skills, I just question if they're so valuable they need 180 days a year devoted to them.

There is no doubt in my mind that when the law says you must provide free and appropriate education for a child they really mean free or appropriate.
