So teachers are your daycare providers?   [/quote]

Give me a break. It's ridiculous to cancel every time there is a flurry. Driving in an inch or two of snow--even if roads are not "cleared"--is not unsafe!!

And SAHMs of elementary kids need to get a clue. Once you have kids in MS/HS, you'll appreciate how disruptive these cancellations are.[/quote]

Huh? Snow days are a godsend for MS and HS kids. And they can take care of themselves![/quote]

+1.  My high school kids can catch up on sleep, homework, and relax for a day.  All of this without missing instruction.  My kids benefit from the occasional snow day.  I was less happy with snow days when they were younger.  No work for parents, the kids wanted entertained all day, and whining.  [/quote]

Well, my MS kid needs to do makeups, check in w/teachers about a missing assignment etc. Their free period to do that is eliminated on early release/delayed start days. Plus two days off. He needed to do well on his remaining tests, etc, which is harder with missing instruction time. There are only 5 school days left before the end of the quarter. It's logistically easier for me but academically much of a problem.[/quote]
