We are virtual today due to ice and parents are pissed. They have jobs, you know! - kelly Feb 16, 05:17 2
- This last year has made it very clear that parents are indeed some of the worst people. If it's that bad there no one should be on the roads and - Krusty Feb 16, 05:28 1
  - I have found it very interesting. A lot of people are like "schools are super vital, kids must go in person! Open them up" but when it comes - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 16, 06:00
Have they considered - now hear me out - teaching classes in some remote, online, distanced way? - Mop Feb 16, 05:07 19
- teacher's want the snow days. You'll take them away over their cold dead hands -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 05:16 16
  - I'm so sad this year we are WFH because we'd have had four snow days already. I really wish the university would just give us off. -- nm - amanda jeans Feb 16, 06:04
  - We’re on the third “snow day” of the last two weeks but they’ve all been remote learning days. - spamlet Feb 16, 05:22 5
    - If my kid was doing well I'd tell them it's a snow day and go out and play or do whatever they want. Kids need to be kids. -- nm - Krusty Feb 16, 05:24 3
      - While my kids have totally lost the socializing with friends while at school, I find they have more free time since they’ve been learning at home. - Mop Feb 16, 06:01
      - I don't know what the guidance is for younger kids but for the HS each class shouldn't give more than 15 minutes of work so kids are done in three hrs - spamlet Feb 16, 05:43 1
        
        That's not bad and at least the kids still get a lot of time to go outside but I think I might give my kid the day off if they were doing well. -- nm - Krusty Feb 16, 05:54
    - I expect if we'd had to go to 2nd Phase at any point this school year they'd make these remote days - Reagen Feb 16, 05:23
  - Teachers have no control over this part. It's all the board. Here, they added a bunch of extra unpaid days into the school year to account for them - Reagen Feb 16, 05:20 8
    - We had our 2 weeks of inclement weather days taken away so we could start 2 weeks late this year, giving teachers to prepare for virtual - kelly Feb 16, 05:27
    - (also snow days are a major headache for continuity and curriculum) -- nm - Reagen Feb 16, 05:21 5
      - Meh. It's one or two days, like a weekend. -- nm - Krusty Feb 16, 05:25 4
        
        we've gone to a two classes/day schedule to limit class changes - Reagen Feb 16, 05:29 3
        
        (and whee: 16 cm predicted for Friday) - Reagen Feb 16, 05:32
        
        I see how it can be an issue. I still want kids to have snow days. -- nm - Krusty Feb 16, 05:31 1
        
        don't get me wrong, I recognize why they have to happen. It just creates a big headache on the other end. - Reagen Feb 16, 05:33
    - We had extra school days added so teachers could get vaccinated. That was a bit of a mixed bag of reactions -- nm - oblique Feb 16, 05:21
- Let them have their snow day! -- nm - ty97 Feb 16, 05:09 1
  - This. -- nm - Krusty Feb 16, 05:10
closed here in anticipation of freezing rain. *stares out window* -- nm - Reagen Feb 16, 04:53
