Ain't played nobody, PAWL!
Free/reduced school lunch/breakfast also plays a role.
It is 2015. Half of our kids homework is on the internet. Not sure why we insist that we have to risk safety and create avoidable hassle through make-up days on Saturdays/summer/Spring Break. If we insist on bussing our kids all over creation and thereby choose this problem, why not at least use 1997 technology to have pre-recorded lectures on the internet? It would have to be a fairly neutral lesson since you never know which days get nuked or the teacher could record it at home at upload it, along with an assignment by Noon.
It certainly beats 3.5 hours makeup hours on a Saturday where they watch videos on an AV car in front of half the class.
Because people will come who shouldn't and people who should won't. Plus those who don't come will get behind. Also, everyone is assuming they know the percentages behind these closings. I have no dog in the fight, but leaving it up to the general public is a non starter
Pedagogically, watching recorded lectures on the internet is not an equivalent learning experience to being in the classroom. Again, I know very little about current protocol, and don't really care about it right now, but was just saying leaving it up to individuals was asking for trouble

How so? There doesn't seem to be any push from the school system to do anything except err on the side of extreme caution.
If they were concerned about free/reduced lunch/breakfast, they should be out there delivering when they call off school.
The number 1, 2 and 3 concern of the school system is frivolous lawsuits.
Probably, but you know how this ends, right? 1/2 the class watching an afterschool special on an AV cart on a Saturday in May to check some arbitrary legislative box.
Also, please use smaller words. Public school filth over here.

And what about the kids that don't have internet in their homes?
OPM on 2 hour delay for Feds today cause of ice in DC. It's wicked out there. Foggy too.
And snow Thursday here as well. Over it!
