Hey, Tigers, FASD just fulfilled your wildest dream! Summer vacation has been extended by a whole month.
Students and faculty are going wild over the news. Apparently, the year-long schedule submitted to the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) contained a misprint that has added almost all of September to the summer vacation. Attempts for the district to fix the approved schedule have been denied by PDE, and there are currently no methods for appealing this predicament.
Exclaimed student Liz Geisinger, “Oh my gosh! That’s so awesome!”
Everyone loves the summer sunshine, and it appears as though Fleetwood students will have the chance to enjoy it a bit longer. This may prove to be the most universally pleasing mistake in the history of American education.
Nevertheless, a few naysayers are disturbed by this unusual sequence of events.
Current sophomore Carol Zheng said, “I would rather be learning something new about the history of something than swimming in my pool.”
What remains uncertain is how parents and other community members will feel about this happy mishap—particularly because, as most students know, parents spend most of their days shopping and playing video games while their children are at school.
Many students are already making plans for the summer months. Heather Jameson plans to spend her extra time with family and friends. In fact, the only students who are not ecstatic about the problem are this year’s graduating seniors, who lament that they cannot take advantage of the longer vacation and instead must continue acting as “adults.”
Many school board members believe that the idea is great because it will allow students more time to relax and regroup before coming back to school. Administrators fear that the added month will give students more time to forget everything they learned during the previous year.
All in all, the appreciation of the news seems to be inversely proportional to the age of the community member.
