[quote=Anonymous]Hi. This is the OP. Well, we have made it so far with power, for which I feel very fortunate.

I just want to clarify that I have no beef with kids having to turn in their papers, projects and take tests upon returning to school on Wednesday. What I primarily objected to was that the teachers' emails said no exceptions would be given if power went out and work requiring internet therefore couldn't be completed. It's a moot point for us now -- DC has completed everything required for wednesday. I was very worried we would lose power today, though. In the last storm in July (which occurred about 1 week after we moved here, btw) we did lose power like many others for several days. That was my fear. At this point I don't care. If power goes we are ready for it.

My basic point remains that the school/county/whomever it is that makes up the rules, could have had a uniform policy about how to handle the work if power outages occurred. I just feel that is the right thing to do so that kids don't have to stress unnecessarily about getting their assignments in on time.

Wishing everyone a safe night in the storm.[/quote]
