[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers deserve a damn snow day. F off![/quote]

[b]I don't have a problem with teachers not working when classes are cancelled[/b].  BUT, this attitude bugs me.  And it reveals that it actually IS seen as a free paid day off.  As though it is some sort of bonus for them.  It isn't.  Snow days are an unfortunate necessity.[/quote]

What is  the  real issue?  You are upset you have your kids home and have to take care of them?  What do you want?  The teacher to come over and babysit?  Their office, the school building is closed![/quote]

Did you read my first sentence?

I'm fine with them not working. What mildly annoys me is reveling in it, or treating it like they "deserve" a day off and the snow day provides it.[/quote]

So  you are annoyed because they are happy to have a day off?  It's odd. If I had an unexpected day off I would be reveling in it too. [/quote]

I clarified my annoyance in a prior thread.  I'm not annoyed they are happy.

I am annoyed that the PP I quoted said they "Deserve" it, as though whether or not the teachers work hard is a factor in whether to call a snow day.  It is not.  It is the unfortunate consequence of a weather event. It might be a happy thing for some teachers, but whether or not they "deserve" it is beside the point entirely.[/quote]
