[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel for the kids whose parents hate snow days. It’s like hating Christmas. It’s one of the joys of childhood and you have a choice to either embrace it with them and make a couple happy memories or be the Grinch.

Be the pancakes and hot chocolate parents your kids will remember it.[/quote]

That’s fair but I have heard parents mad about it because of lost instruction time. [/quote]

This is a valid point! Unlike in other parts of the country we aren’t making up the time lost due to snow days. [/quote]

APS has 13 snow days built in. [/quote]

Don't fall for Syphax's bad math. We had 180 days this year. Now we're down to 177 after 2 full snow days and primary voting day recently being added to calendar.[/quote]

Yes, but there were 10 minutes of instruction added to each day a couple of years ago to accommodate more snow days than we’ll ever really need.  You may not have felt it, but students and teachers have certainly felt the impact of that 10 minutes. [/quote]

So get rid of those extra minutes. Days in schools matter more than minutes or hours. And we shouldn't close 10 more days just because Syphax is bad at planning. [/quote]

Closing 10 more days?  What are you talking about?  Schools in the DC area sometimes close for snow.  Sorry.  If you don’t like it, move to Alabama where the weather is always warm.  I’ve heard the schools are great there.[/quote]
