Re: President Bush declares that Tuesday will be a day of mourning for former President Gerald Ford, Reuters reports.
NYSE Group, Inc. Markets to Close on Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2007 To Observe National Day of Mourning for President Gerald R. Ford
NEW YORK, Dec. 29, 2006 – The New York Stock Exchange and NYSE Arca, subsidiaries of NYSE Group, Inc. (NYSE: NYX), will be closed on Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2007 in observance of the national day of mourning for President Gerald R. Ford.
"My NYSE Group colleagues and I join all Americans in mourning the loss of President Ford, a man of great integrity and vision, and a dedicated public servant," said NYSE Group, Inc. CEO John A. Thain. "He assumed a troubled presidency in a critical time, and thoughtfully and skillfully restored credibility and confidence in the presidency. President Ford also made significant contributions to the stability and vitality of the U.S. economy and financial markets. It is appropriate that we honor President Ford and celebrate the life of a truly great American."

As far as I know schools will not be closed. I thought the ones near dc may be since a lot of the parents work for the fed gov, but alas, no.

I read past the double ngative. I was just confused on the statement as a whole. Are you saying that sending your kids to NYC schools is free babysitting?

if schools were not closed when Ronald Reagan died, I doubt they will be closed now.

Yeah! My office is now officially closed. Since I was taking Tuesday as a carry over vacation day I get an extra day to take off in January.

I'm sure those parents (most) that send their kids to school to be taught by you would love to hear that you feel like just a babysitter. Oh and try telling them it's free.

Isn't public education free? I think if you don't teach in a city school or are familiar with the conditions in many it's easy to misconstrue beautyq's comment- unfortunately, the conditions we sometimes deal with do make it seem like education's not the priority- overcrowded classes, for one (I have 35 kids). And I know many of my fellow city teachers (me included) have had to purchase school supplies for our kids because the parents can't or won't.

I have to agree - I work in a good district in LI and l still sometimes feel like I am a mother/babysitter before a teacher.

When about 80% of your Tax Bill is for school and education, then no school is not free. (Renting, co-ops, and all other housing - except illegal - cover school funds). Public Education is not free. Nothing in life is free.
I'm sorry you have to buy your students supplies and conditions aren't ideal. We all have to make certain sacrifices for our jobs and careers. I understand that you don't have it that easy in the city. I'm sure it's difficult, but to hear that people consider their teaching jobs to be like babysitting, it rubs me the wrong way.
