No More Snow Days OK, If We Still Observe Hurricane Days

Only those who have been home schooled have never felt the sense of joy and release that an unexpected day off from school brings. Now the Anderson County School District has adopted a program to forestall that heavenly feeling when it snows.

Just think. We aren't wired enough already, so the millions spent on Chromebooks for students will now take away that fleeting freedom from lessons when snow, fire, flood, and/or wind threaten school bus routes. "The plan is to eliminate makeup days caused by bad weather. This year, students won’t get a day off when snow or ice hits. Instead, teachers will send assignments to students’ school-provided tablet computers, which the kids will be required to complete. 'Inclement weather days will be eLearning days and will not be made up,' the district calendar states. Snow days are dead."

Ah, but come high winds, and the WiFi goes dead. 

Then what?

There's still hope, teachers!
