Be the pancakes and hot chocolate parents your kids will remember it.

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

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

APS has 13 snow days built in.

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.

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.

These random snow days at the end of the semester are pretty annoying.

It’s absolutely ridiculous. We should have 5 and then if more…go to virtual! Then get us out of school a week earlier.

And not from home.

But I love a snow day when I can be with her.

I wonder about the Venn diagram of “parents mad about today’s snow day” and the other highly heated topic “parents who don’t have their kids play outside in weather below 40”

My kids have had very little school since mid December between the holidays, plentiful teacher absences, mid year testing, and weather. We'll pull out our leftover summer workbooks today and do a bit of math practice. There will still be plenty of time for hot chocolate and sledding.

Thats a lot of snow! We never close but even we closed!

Yes almost all parents work. But, almost every winter there are weather-related closures.

So you can either embrace the snow days, make sure your workplace knows you have to take them— and it’s not like it’s not literally published in the WaPo so no one thinks you’re making it up— or you can complain about them and your kids pick up your attitude. The kid has to be home no matter how inconvenient it is for you, it’s just a matter of whether you’re going to make them feel like you resent something that brings them delight.
