[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC Teacher here. I ride the bus to school, and it's a bus will not be running tomorrow.[/quote]

Another teacher here, same for me.  I sorta feel like school will be open, but we'll see.

This is my first time browsing these forums, and I have to say, the level of anger for these snow days is amazes me.  Look, it's a snowy winter.  I understand that it must create huge problems for working families, and I can sympathize, but what can you do?  Life is WAY too short to get angry over the weather.  You shouldn't be caught off guard by a snow day - it happens, and for the foreseeable future, it's always going to happen.  Plan on about five snow days a year, and if there are less, consider it a bonus.

Besides, [b]nobody[/b] wants school to be in session more than DCPS.  The CAS is coming up, and you better believe that factors into their decision.  Not that we have any say in the matter, but teachers aren't getting a "day off," we're just postponing the end of the school year and saying goodbye to our precious few professional development days and/or records days.

Most people don't want snow days, and you should vent about your problems if it makes you feel better (I mean that sincerely), but getting angry about it and threatening "this is the last straw, DCPS!" is just a little silly.  I don't march on capitol hill when it's rainy.  Just try to make the most of it :)[/quote]
