[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand the problem. Do you honestly feel like your child doesn’t have enough days off school?[/quote] I'm not OP As pointed out by other posters, a lot of the school days are a waste-no actual learning is going on. Also, are teachers paid extra when these snow days are not used? Are they technically working for free?[/quote] I don't understand this "the extra days are wasted" argument. If there's no teaching going on during those days, then we should address THAT problem.[/quote] I agree, but it's every school district and you see it all the time. People will post here about how they want to take kids out of school at this time or that time (like the days before Thanksgiving or a week before winter break, etc.) for a vacation and other posters will say "Sure, go for it. No actual teaching is going on then anyway!"[/quote]
