They don't close for rain.

Yea they did just this school year in anticipation of a big rain event on a Saturday that never happened.

The anticipated weather was ice. At the last minute, the temperatures warmed up.

Let it go. You seriously have a problem.

+1. Plus it ws Saturday! How exhausting to deal with these nonstop complainers.

Not complaining. Just pointing out that if they can close for rain, they can easily do a 2 hr early release due to eclipse for safety.

Go do your homework, sweetie. It’s a full day of school tomorrow.

You sound so dumb every time you post this.

Is the eclipse going to interfere with brain waves? If not, why is this an issue that your child's teacher scheduled a test during the eclipse?

Oh, of course. It’s exactly the same to tell a few hundred people to stay home on a Saturday as it is for 50K elementary students to have to have arrangements made for an early release pick up.

Please stop. You sound more stupid with each post.

It’ll interfere with me picking my child up early.

You sound like you use school as a babysitter. Two hours early is that much of an inconvenience for you?

+1. And school is closed on Wed. If it’s block scheduling in middle or hs, you can’t possibly expect the teacher to not give a test because of this.

This is my question I have two student athletes who will be outside at this time and no communication from the high school-I think this is not the coaches call but the admin.

Why is this an issue? Hopefully if they are old enough to be on a HS sports team they know not to stare directly at the sun. Tell your kids not to stare at the sun directly during any practice.

If you want to pick up your child early, do it. Your child can make up the test later.

If a parent found out that for TWO DAYS (due to keeping blocks on the same schedule), a teacher did nothing but fluff in order to accommodate for the eclipse, they'd complain. But if that teacher actually taught and assessed content, parents would complain because they can't pick up their children early. It'd be another reason to complain about teachers.

.

Before anyone comments that blocks don't need to kept on the same schedule, let me explain why I need to keep my blocks aligned:

On Red days, I teach one section of Subject 1, one section of Subject 2, and one section of Subject 3. On Blue days, I teach one section of Subject 1 and one section of Subject 2.

Teaching three different subjects is very difficult anyway. If I allow my two blocks of Subject 1 and two blocks of Subject 2 to get misaligned, it is a nightmare for me as a teacher. In order to be my most effective, I need to keep those blocks aligned with each other.

Think of it this way (though these aren't the subjects I teach, this is similar to what I actually teach):
-- Subject 1 is AP Computer Science
-- Subject 2 is Algebra 2
-- Subject 3 is Geometry HN

So your needs trump student safety? Who tf gives a test on a Monday anyway?! When we literally have only been back 3 days from Spring Break.
