It’s either that or the same four crazy rage-bots.

I don’t get it either. I’m in Loudoun and I think they should have gone on time yesterday (Thursday!)

Again, stop playing dumb. Some areas had seen plows and salt and people living there assume everything is clear. There are tons of residential area that hadn't seen either and there were even texts/emails issued to parents about alternative bus stops if you don't believe me. Why would they do so had everything been cleared?

Then stay home. Your choice.

I am. Just wanted to make sure it's an excused absence and kids who cannot show up (there will be lots of those) aren't put at a disadvantage with extra work or missed material. Enjoy your child-free time while your kids are watching movies with the pissed off teachers.

Missed material? On a Friday after an almost 3 week break? Okay, Karen.

Then why are people so desperate to send their kids for some benefit they can't quantify? If kids aren't missing anything then the advantage is purely for the parents. Maybe you should ask the AP exams Karens here, I can't answer.

Because if they go tomorrow they can start doing some review. So hopefully next week they can get back on track.

Its a school day. I would hope teachers are teaching:

There is no undone work and nothing to review-they've been out for weeks.

HS Teacher here. Of course your kid will be disadvantaged with missed materials? In my courses tomorrow, we are beginning new content.

OK, be a dick on purpose? As a fellow teacher, why on earth would you teach new content tomorrow.

God forbid! A teacher that cares about kids learning and not just killing time. The insanity!!

This is what I don’t understand either. You seriously haven’t gone anywhere? At all?

DP
We just went out today just to get out, but they didn’t plow the street until yesterday. Before that we really didn’t need to go anywhere.

Yes, we live in Siberia

We are able to work from home, and yes, we reduce unnecessary driving because it's unplowed until we get to the main streets. Only essential outings, it's temporary. I am home indoors all day today. We have no sidewalks and I wasn't feeling a necessity to be slipping on the hilly icy streets dodging multiple swerving cars to go for a walk.

I care about kids which is why I don’t teach new content when half my class is gone for circumstances out of their control and put the onus on them to catch up

Yup. To keep us from doing it. Haha

Teachers aren’t happy about this call.

I’m just surprised. A lot of stress and worry for a short amount of time.

Let's be clear, many of us, Parents aren't happy about this either. Not sure what those who are happy and insisted on this weird one day before the weekend are hoping to gain.

This sounds oddly like “we’re educators, we want to be back in school too…when it’s safe”.

Oh, I forget, we’re in **that** generation. Not the one that learned 80% of success is showing up.
