Looks like MI is trying to tighten Standards by adopting the Common Core, good move!

Also, if school starts after labor day, chances of the school year ending at least midway into June are pretty high, unless less than 180 days as the data told us on Auto 's post. However, likelihood that the data has changed for it is a few years old.

Education is a thankless profession. Please don't generalize all education and educators as not caring about what is best for kids! You will find there are many more quality teachers than bad ones. The bad ones are the only ones that people hear about, and all are put into that category, therefore people may make uniformed judgements!
In my personal experience for myself and raising two children and knowing because I lived nearby what happened with our two grandchildren, I have run across in all of that time, ONLY three disappointing teachers. NOT awful, just not really good.
