My kids built lego structures, read books, slid down our hill in the ice, shoveled neighborhood sidewalks, worked on Lexia and dreambox, and helped me bake some muffins. The way I see it, they learned about architecture, reading, science (playing with velocity on the sled), improved their citizenship skills, and did some math. Not bad for a snow day.

How nice that you don’t have to work.

We don’t know they didn’t. Quite a bit of that could be done with minor supervision.

Some people cannot take the phones, TV, or iPad away. It might be hard.

My kids did this and comparable things for the three day weekend and every other weekend and day off in January and February. They don't need more unstructured time. They need to be taught actual content. We've already surrendered so much instructional time with Mondays off, shorter days and repeat closures.

Lucky you, SAHM... Many of us had to work and weren't able to bake muffins and take our kids sledding.

Yup - not to mention we are almost a year of 100% remote learning. Parents need to work and cannot supervise their kids all day. The groups advocating for more time off clearly either don't work, or don't want to return to work..

We all make our own choices in life. Why disparage PP for her choices?

Because PP is saying "It's unfortunate so many kids didn't learn today".

Isn’t that the big complaint on this thread? That no one was learning yesterday?

And what that Pp was saying was your kids can still be learning outside of school or distance learning. Kids learn a lot through play and individual exploration. Obviously some of you get upset on snow days because you won’t take the iPad and your kids just watch videos but lots of kids do other stuff that is good for them. My kids spent the snow day painting and drawing and building a puzzle. My oldest read a book about Greek gods cause that’s what she’s into. She made a list of them from favorite to least favorite. Some of y’all just reveal your own weak parenting when you complain about what your kids are or aren’t doing on one day off of school.

As I said above, my kids have self entertained for every day off and weekend in January and February, of which there have been many. They need APS to deliver actual content, not more unstructured time. They've had tons and tons of unstructured time this year. Calling me a bad parent because I see school and instructional time as valuable is ridiculous.

+1. But around here anytime a SAHM does something positive the resentful working mom shows up to ridicule and belittle. They’re a pity but entirely predictable, just best to ignore them.

And the personal attacks come out because I'm correct and you don't have a valid counter point.

Why are you a bad parent? I’m assuming you’re parenting to a level you consider as appropriate. You come off as angry to others for parenting in a way they see as best for their children.

The prior poster accused parents who wanted school of weak parenting. Keep up.
