Have they considered - now hear me out - teaching classes in some remote, online, distanced way?

Posted by Mop (aka rburriel) Feb 16 '21, 05:07

My kids are getting a week off in March because we’ve had no school cancelations due to weather. There’s been a common “no more school days” refrain in the education community since the pandemic began as one of the future consequences of what we’ve been through.

Responses:

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
