[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually support the waiver.  My kids go to private but our private must follow state mandates in terms of number of days that they attend school.  My kids who score in the top percentiles on standardized tests/earn straight A's aren't going to "miss" out  because of a few snow days.  I doubt that kids who score in the middle/bottom on standardized tests are going to feel the effects of a few extra snow days either.    It's really an illogical argument.  Also most years, we don't use up all our snow days either so it balances out in the long term.

I'm guessing the folks who don't want the waiver fall into the following categories:
*SAHMs who are bitter that they've had their kids home so much this winter. 
*WOHMs who want free childcare.
*SAHM/WOHM moms who are bitter that the teachers have had a few extra days off.

There is so much entitlement on this thread.  I'm going to vomit.

You left one out:
SAHM/WOHM who want their kids to make up for missed time. [/quote]

You also missed SAHM/WOHM who wants their kids to know the value of going to school and living by the rules.

I'm not from the US and I'm shocked by the blasé attitude parents here have about school. I'm also disgusted by the sports culture, but that's another thread.[/b] No wonder your PISA scores are so poor compared to other industrialized nations. [/quote]

Except that I am from the US, and I find it pretty disgusting.  School should be a priority.  And, the time spent in school should be important enough that it needs to be made up if it is missed.

What message does it send to the kids?  Hey, you missed 10 days of school, but you weren't learning sh*t anyway, so NBD.  [/quote]

+1 Yup, this is either a troll or a MAJOR beotch! [/quote]
