My kid's three AP teachers have been sending out increasingly agitated emails about needing to finish the curriculum before AP exams in May. There will definitely be intensive instruction today, despite the shortened day.

There is a whole world of school outside of elementary, PP.

+1. Some of my kids’ teachers were quietly trying to assign reading last week even though they weren’t supposed to. It never seems to amaze me that some people on the forum think that their experience is the only one that occurs.

I walked one kid to school. Plenty of ice on certain unshoveled sidewalks but it was fine. The kids I saw at drop off were smilier than normal and happy to get back.

Didn’t receive any emails from my bus riding kid’s school that Bus X or Bus Y was late, so sounds like it was as smooth as could be expected.

But the people that live on that street were parked on the street making the road even narrower. The traffic on the road is not a surprise to them. It happens every day. Do we really need to invoke a snow emergency so these people don't park on the street? They were able to move their car elsewhere when the plows were out---put them back there! The county could implement snow emergency parking requirements during school hours. But really, it just seems like common sense.

Driving in the one lane plus street parking is a pita. But where would you like those cars be moved to if not in front of their home? Are you offering to tow the vehicle to your house/driveway so you can get through?

DP and I would like to complain about one of the several houses on our walking route to school that did not shovel their sidewalk at all. This particular one then parked their car on the street but several feet from the curb because of the plow-made snow bank. So not only do you have to get off the sidewalk to walk around, but you have to walk way in the street because of their car. The street is already narrow. I almost got hit coming back from elementary drop off, by some idiot driver flying down the street despite the snow piles and poor visibility.

The problem was the "some idiot driver flying down the street..." not the person who has the right to park on the street. How do you know how many cars they have? How do you even know it's their car and not a guest's? A nanny's? Other service?

Here is that AP class / exam poster again. They found this thread, too. Sigh.

Signed poster who has been there done that with AP classes and exams

And yet... your post was not useful in the least, whereas the PP's actually added to the discussion that there would definitely be instruction today, at least for certain high school classes.

I don't know why you're so rabidly against people pointing out that kids are having real classes. That's odd.

No. They are NOT having real classes.maybe next week. Stfu.

You sure do have a problem, PP.

I don't understand how that works. My kids teachers changed for S2.
