Please explain how your twisted logic makes the weather FCPS's fault. 🤔

Your statement "this is far from acceptable" is especially bizarre. Psychologists would have a field day trying to analyze that deluded train of thought.

They can't control the weather but they do control the calendar. Scheduling all the days off in Winter is plain stupid when weather events are possible.

Winter days off= winter break, two federal holidays (MLK and Presidents' Day), a cultural day (Lunar New Year), and two teacher workdays for end-of-semester tasks. Other than Lunar New Year, aren't the other days off all normal ones?

Is FCPS now responsible for Federal holidays?

Are teachers not supposed to have a workday for completing their end-of-semester tasks?

Why can't teachers do that on the snow days like all the other working parents have to do?

Sure, if it happens to fall at the end of the quarter when those tasks need to be accomplished.

It will not be a 5AM Monday call...they don't do that anymore, thank goodness. They'll call at least a delay Sunday evening, possibly change to closure.

If you are some kind of weather God who can guarantee that there will be snow days at the end of the quarter so I can enter 250+ report card comments into SIS, can grade the mountain of late work that students always turn in on the last day of the quarter, and can complete the 12 hours of PD my employer assigns to be completed, then I'd be happy to use a snow day or two to complete the work.

You obviously have either a grandiose sense of self and feel you can control the weather or you are just incredibly naive and have no clue what you're talking about. If it is the former, you need to seek psychiatric care. If it is the latter, you need to stay in your lane.

Are you drunk or just stupid? You’re seriously suggesting that we cross our fingers for some snow days to fall right at the end of the quarter so that teachers can finish grading and enter hundreds of grades in SIS?

We do work on snow days.

I think the PP was suggesting that teachers shouldn’t have to rely on unscheduled, random snow days. It helps to have occasional, scheduled hours set aside for the behind-the-scenes work that we usually aren’t granted time for.

But don’t worry, we’ll work on snow days, too.

Amazing, right? It's almost as if there are many different posters with different opinions venting on a gossip site.

Yeah, relax from what? The 3 day week they just had? GMAB.

If models verify, it's looking like a snow day.

Start looking for child care now because they are saying 3-6 inches with DC proper getting about 3, so western Fairfax will get 5 most likely which is plenty to cancel school.
