Daylight Savings Time - Curriculum Decisions 03/04/2009
![]() Daylight Savings Time begins on Sunday, March 8. Most people associate the time change with longer periods of daylight. However, in education this time signifies that another school year is coming to an end. Teachers will begin grumbling, "I don't have time to teach it all!" Following Daylight Savings Time are Snow Days, Early Release Days, Spring Break, Awards Assemblies and other disruptions to the written and taught curricula. These barriers occur each year, but we continue to allow teachers to race to the finish line without modifying the local curriculum.
