Explain this to me ...

Jan. 24, 2007 - Explain this to me ...
One of life's greatest mysteries has always been how children can feel SO TERRIBLE from the hours of 8-3 ... and 3pm hits and they miraculously feel better ... and I don't mean a little better, but better enough to want to go squirrel hunting in the woods ... in the cold ... with no gloves! And dad thinks it's fine.
This would not be such a mystery to me if my child were in public school/private school ... anywhere that school only happens from approximately 8am-3pm. But he's aware that with the declaration of feeling well enough to squirrel hunt comes today's lessons ... even at 3:45pm! So ... what is the deal ...
