[quote=Anonymous]I have to ask...what is "temperate" about the hot muggy August weather we get here in DC? And then we'll have complaints about the closings for heat, and the hvac systems that break down... I don't really understand the problem. Yes, we have snow days. The schools build in snow days to the calendar. Our independent school started after labor day and built in 8 days. We'll end in early to mid-June like everyone else. Summer time is important, too. Kids need to be kids, and work or go to camp, or take advantage of other opportunities. 5 more days in school is not going to make children smarter...but taking away even more freedom/play/summer/exploration could cause real harm. It's snow! It is a hassle if you have to work and your kids are home, I get that. But...it is a few snow days. [/quote]
