[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]in my opinion, we should have off tomorrow as high as will be above freezing and will give crew more time to clear roads on bus routes. [/quote]

We should, but so many people think school is day care, and would have a fit. [/quote]

Actually, some of us have high schoolers who need grades for transcripts and need to to talk to their teachers in person. [/quote]

DP: I do have a high schooler, a junior who needs to make up a midterm and a test. The gradebook close date is completely arbitrary. There’s no need to rush the kids back to school in unsafe conditions, especially teenagers who are not used to driving and parking in these conditions – when they can just extend the gradebook by a week. Why are we rushing teachers to complete grades and kids to complete tests and material that were supposed to be reviewed over a week ago? My DS has done just fine communicating with his teachers via email/Canvas. [/quote]

1.  Some kids need to submit 2nd quarter grades to college so know the 2nd quarter can't just stay open until whenever.
2.  The school year is moving on and it's a tight schedule for AP classes.  That's why they are "rushing" teachers if we want to call it that.  They need to keep moving. These high schools offer every single AP the College Board offers.  It's a lot of kids in a lot of AP classes.  Not some small number of students impacted.  [/quote]
