School Standards

Funny time of year Easter. For one thing it is the ultimate in moveable feasts. I once found out how it was calculated but decided that calculating Pi to 3 thousand decimal places would be less complicated. Apparently it's to do with the first Sunday after the third full moon of the year except in years divisible by 17.36 unless Cadbury's have made a loss in the first quarter of the financial year. Or something like that.

Of course, Easter is the term break for schools so we now know we are going into the summer term after this two week holiday. There are some schools who don't have two weeks at Easter. To take into account religious considerations there are plenty of schools that only broke up half way through last week.
