[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are three extra days worked into the school year calendar to allow for snow days. When we don't need them for snow we "get them back" at the end of the year. [b]It's always been done this way.[/b] A few years ago, they used two extra days to make the first weekend of June a four day weekend, which was kind of weird. Usually, people prefer just having the school year shortened.[/quote] That's the worst reason imaginable to do something. [/quote] Would it be a better idea to [b]not[/b] schedule the extra days and then have to add to the school year each June? "It's always been done this way" in this case is not a reason, it is simply an explanation of how schools do their calendar planning, that's all. It is generally easier in our climate to plan in advance for snow days than to wait and see what happens and then add extra school days at the end of the year. [/quote]
