Mark my words. Come back to this!

I hope you are wrong! (Though you are likely correct.) There is the possibility of snow next weekend. This could be a disaster.

They’re not going to close for the week. Simmer
down.

Wouldn’t be the worst thing. If there’s snow for kids, could be some core memories. Everyone remembers when the schools closed for a week in the 90s from snow.

Only time we we closed for a week was bizzard of 1996.

That was back when Americans were tough, not the weak, woke America of today. Going to get more snow next Friday and Saturday. Schools will reopen with a 2 hour delay on January 15th.

Snow is woke now. Got it.

I hope you get the help you need.

No help needed. Where I grew up the snow projected for Sunday/Monday would be considered a dusting. Would be going to school on time.

Like it or not America has gone soft and woke culture is partially responsible for that softness.

Well I grew up here and it would have been cancelled for a week with a foot of snow. Contrary to your argument, nothing has changed in regarding to NoVA, snow, and cancellations.

And as a member of the secret cabal of teachers that is both responsible for winter weather and school closings (it is a tough job- some say impossible!) I will make sure to send just a dusting and close the schools one day in February.

Maybe you need to move back there. Do us all a favor. Your “woke culture” nonsense is so boring and makes you sound unintelligent.

More entertaining here, so many crazies. Nothing more fun to watch than the coastal elites and their foolish ideas.

Please tell us where you come from. It must be a wonderful place with zero foolish ideas.

America is still the same in the places that get snow and don't get snow. You just moved South of wherever you used to live and blame wokeism.

Huh? Whatever plans you had for Monday just get shifted to the next day you’re back in school. This isn’t rocket science. Are you a first year teacher?

If she teaches high school, this now means the quarter could potentially start on Tuesday B day, which means B could get ahead of A, which we rarely want. So then you have to decide does B get ahead or do you build in a “stall” day to keep A day leading with fresh content? But if we get enough snow, and we probably will, Tuesday will also be canceled in which case we start on a Wednesday A day…. So we’d be good to go with Monday’s original plan. Unless it’s a delay start which throws off how much A day can get done on a reduced schedule even though B day classes will surely be on the normal full block schedule by Thursday. So do they still end up ahead or do you throttle them to keep them where A day is?

It’s a little more nuanced than your post suggests. Not impossible but when the snow days start piling up and one of the block days gets way off track of the other, it does take some finagling to get everyone reasonably in the same place again. Stuff has to get cut or added to account for the disparity of days missed.

DP but my classes are also semester-based so I need to make sure they take their final summative within the next week or so. Definitely stressful for me!

Wait, so you’re suggesting it’s not as black and white as DCUM keyboard warriors believe?

But…but..they know EVERYTHING about how schools should be run. After all, they were once STUDENTS.

At all? Nah they’ll be back in by Thursday for sure with Wednesday a 50/50. But Monday and Tuesday are a lock.

If we get 10-12 inches we will be closed for the week. It’s not going to break freezing and you can’t move that much snow easily the plows just end up blocking everything and neighborhoods will be last. The main roads will be fine by Wednesday but not the neighborhoods/walkways.

They’re not going to close school for a week for a foot of snow. That’s insane

Aww, you’re darling.

Alexandria too.

I’m sorry that all the parents who hate their kids will have to spend another day or two with them.

This is such a tired argument. Give it up.

DP. On these boards, it’s (at least partially) correct. There have been multiple comments on the multiple snow day threads whining that “my kids need to go back to school— they’re driving me crazy!”

After a two week break. Ridiculous.

Teacher here. If you think we are going back to school Wednesday you are crazy. Watch your kids and be happy for the time you get to spend with them. You will probably be watching them all week

We had to deal with them for 2 weeks this is March 2020 all over again.

They are YOUR CHILDREN. Buffoon.

You're crazy, teacher. Ever since Covid, y'all have really gotten lazy and brazen with your need to close schools unnecessarily. So enjoy your two days off. Back to school Wednesday!

It’s hilarious that you think teachers make the call re: closures.

Are you always this dumb? It's the attitude.

Oh, the irony.

There is no chance they will be open Tuesday. Zero.
