Isn’t 58 days equivalent to “Not even two months”?

Someone needs to review their calendar lessons.

Someone is really patient.

Isn’t Dexter going to be going to summer school?

Ah, a fellow ADHD.

36 more school days here, 52 days if you include weekends and Memorial Day. Yes, I’m counting…

Now you know what inspired The Eagles to sing:

“Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’

Into the future

Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’

Into the future

I wanna fly like an eagle

To the sea

Fly like an eagle

Let my spirit carry me

I want to fly like an eagle

‘Till I’m free

Oh, Lord, through the revolution"

In my teaching years….after Easter I put up two numbers which kept declining. First, it took the young scholars a few days to notice. Eventually I told then one number was the numbers left in the school year. The second number was the number of days until the start of the next school year. Students were pleased by one number but were angry at the other…..roughly the 10-11 weeks ~the days of summer…

251 days until Christmas.

Same here May is getting closer for school out.

58 days is less than two months, so he’s definitely stumbling in math….

Summer school for whoever said that. Remedial math.

It’s all “new math” LOL
