[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s unfortunate that so many kids didn’t learn today. We were thrilled to have an inclement weather day today. My kids built lego structures, read books, slid down our hill in the ice, shoveled neighborhood sidewalks, worked on Lexia and dreambox, and helped me bake some muffins. The way I see it, they learned about architecture, reading, science (playing with velocity on the sled), improved their citizenship skills, and did some math. Not bad for a snow day. [/quote]

Lucky you, SAHM... Many of us had to work and weren't able to bake muffins and take our kids sledding. [/quote]

We all make our own choices in life. Why disparage PP for her choices? 
[/quote]

Because PP is saying "It's unfortunate so many kids didn't learn today". [/quote]

Isn’t that the big complaint on this thread? That no one was learning yesterday? 
[/quote]

And what that Pp was saying was your kids can still be learning outside of school or distance learning. Kids learn a lot through play and individual exploration. Obviously some of you get upset on snow days because you won’t take the iPad and your kids just watch videos but lots of kids do other stuff that is good for them. My kids spent the snow day painting and drawing and building a puzzle. My oldest read a book about Greek gods cause that’s what she’s into. She made a list of them from favorite to least favorite. Some of y’all just reveal your own weak parenting when you complain about what your kids are or aren’t doing on one day off of school. [/quote]As I said above, my kids have self entertained for every day off and weekend in January and February, of which there have been many.  They need APS to deliver actual content, not more unstructured time.  They've had tons and tons of unstructured time this year.  Calling me a bad parent because I see school and instructional time as valuable is ridiculous.[/quote]

Okay. Have fun victimizing yourself. [/quote]And the personal attacks come out because I'm correct and you don't have a valid counter point.[/quote]

But you are. “My kids occupy themselves on the weekend already.” Weekends have never been built into the school year. You really think you suffered something unique because of ONE SNOW day. [/quote]
