[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are there snow days when you are DL?  Or, am I asking a dumb question?  I live in another state.[/quote]

It’s not a dumb question. First of all, nutrition and custodial staff and admin have to report to the building if it’s a school day. Bus drivers have to be out delivering meals if it’s a school day. If those would be compromised due to travel conditions, calling a snow day means they do not have to report.

For the kids, snow days are fun. Distance learning is hard and tedious. [b]The days are built into the calendar whether we use them or not,[/b] so using them allows kids to take a break and play and enjoy snow. As a teacher, I don’t do “nothing,” those days are super productive for me because I can do all the other stuff there is usually little time for: planning, grading, pulling data for students with interventions, making parent contact.

We already used them, remember how we started two days late? And remember how we haven't had a full week of school since like Thanksgiving? This is ridiculous.[/quote]

Two WEEKS late.[/quote]
