@@TheDisorganizedNerd I'm not saying it isn't nice for them, BUT that is not the motivation for teachers to want to protect snow days. Say you are the organizer of a school prom. There is a song you enjoy, but you choose to play it in the prom because the attendants enjoy it, not because you yourself enjoy it. The song is still played in the end, but your motivation is everyone's enjoyment, not yours. Getting to listen to a song you enjoy is just the cherry on top of the cake, not the cake itself. This implies that if teachers like Grey still had to work on snow days while their students got to enjoy themselves, they would still protect snow days for the students' sake.

Given that the modern American school system is designed to engineer a specific kind of personality ideal for entering an equally soul crushing workforce? Yeah no, not a coincidence. Very much intentionally designed to repress creative thinking, insist on conformity, insist on obsessive perfection even when the work itself has no direct benefit for you, and to be unquestioning to authority figures. Modern American public schools are literally designed to create the perfect worker drones. Unquestioning of authority, too uncreative to think beyond instructions given, and keep just low information enough that they can't even tell when they are being taken advantage of in a legal sense(i.e uninformed as to their actual rights etc)

Which is why homeschooling + extra curricular activities (to socialize and have fun with peers) has been a top priority for many new and potential parents. If parents can, they should. Public schools are fundamentally broken and they will never change until insane changes happen (this of course depends on the country. I think in the US it will literally never change while the budget will keep increasing because the system is just too big).

I'm a teacher aspirant, and relatively recently rediscovered the importance of intrinsic motivation. I'm also an ex-factory worker, and there I learned the soul-crushing horrors of check marks and extrinsic motivation. These people who think persistence begets mastery are only half-correct. To paraphrase The Edge from _Furi,_ mastery is a habit, not a mindset. We are what we do. The real way to get those test scores up isn't to mindlessly shove knowledge into kids' brains and hope they retain it, all for goodboy points on their report cards. They're missing the trees for the forest, which is a shitty practice for people trying to cultivate strong trees. People who succeed want to, and they don't need help or extra resources to get there. The real fight is getting kids to care about their education, for _themselves,_ not for the benefits that come from a series of letters on a piece of paper, or the stuff they'll get from mommy and daddy for doing well at school.

While we have very different weather throughout the year, it's never inclement enough to warrant cancelling school due to it. Heat alerts always happen in January (or late December), and there's no school during those months anyway. I had no idea school got cancelled due to bad weather in other places. It's something I learned about on the Internet long after having finished school. It's a completely alien concept to me.

I mean to play devil advocate, where I grew up snow days were planned in the schedule(having x number of extra days to make up for expected snow days). So if they switched to a distant learning on would be snow days they could then use those extra days to extend breaks or give a day off here or there. Which as they would be planned would mean you can do more on those days then snow days(that exist because it hard to travel on those days).

As a Canadian, I never had a snow day. Not even 1 meter (3 feet) of snow overnight would have cancelled school. It's not as if snow could have stopped us from doing anything, we were used to it and had the means to work around it. I once walked to school in a -50°C snow storm.
@Heather-vi7gy Рік тому
okay, that's just child endangerment. I grew up in minnesota and we had a day cancelled due to cold at about that temperature - they should have cancelled school (also, i didn't know it could snow at that temperature!! usually the sky cleared up when it got that cold for our region) we did have some days of 3 foot storms that didn't cancel school, and some that did, it depended on when the snow fell. The few days when the 3 feet were all dumped between 4am and 9am were when they really couldn't get anything done about it

Most kids here would walk/cycle(/ski) to school as you need to live several miles away from nearest school to get the town to bus you. It's only in the last couple decades that the countryside towns have been shutting down their small "village schools" that were scattered basically everywhere. This has led to the increase of the amount of pupils bussed to schools. In more urban areas the public transportation does not always have the best coverage or schedule so kids can't often use that. Of course in the last generation or so parents have been increasingly eager to drive their kids to school, but a substantial amount of the kids still has to push through to school on their own devices.

I think there is a bit of a misunderstanding. In more recent years snow days don't seem to be called with the same standards. It used to only be for a serious blizzards where I grew up, more recently it has been for days where the roads may still be ice covered at 6 AM ish. And so now they have something like 20 a year and it is just actually a significant amount of time for people to be missing when by 9 AM the roads are melted and they probably could have had class. I think some bad early morning car accidents prompted this change in our district, I think one of the administrators lost family to it or something like that. So I think, keeping 1-5 snow days a year, sure, no problem, but maybe we should get online and get something done on the more trivial "snow" days. Either the ice ones, or the ones they call further south when they get just a sprinkling that are hilarious to those of us that get real amounts of snow.

Uh uh uh Bomb threat? Can’t blow you up online! Unless maybe some kid makes a computer virus that freezes everyone’s zoom call

Someone will do that As OP said, never underestimate the ingenuity of students escaping deadlines If it means breaking Google Meets for a week or two, so be it, it is a minute price to pay for salvation

In elementary, during lunch time, I used to touch my uvula so I could go home early. I'd make myself throw up.

The school system: “Why are you not mad at us canceling snow day?” Me who lives in South East Asia: *”I don’t even know what snow day is.”*

@KISHANTH JEYAMOORTHY Me either. I think snow days are only for places far enough north that there is snow but far enough south that it is confusing and frightening. In Canada if they let you out of school just because it snowed a lot we'd have 40 snow days a year.

@KISHANTH JEYAMOORTHY I lived close to my primary school, but the teachers lived way out in the middle of nowhere. School was often closed for snow when there was very little snow in town, but the teachers couldn't get in on their rural roads.

I had differant "snow days" like when it rained really heavily or when there were "teacher something days" (I don't know)

Man, in a couple years i'll be a teacher and sometimes it feels like the only pastime of schoolboards and the ministry of education is to dominate pupils minds as much as possible until no class is ever missed, no test ever so slightly cheated, no homework copied from a friend no childrens mind absent. School is hard nad without allowing students little breaks in between, i honestly don't know how they're supposed to make it through the year.

Meh. Scandinavian school system laughs at your snow days.
