We often have to tell parents, "NO, your child may NOT come to summer school, Saturday school, and/or afterschool tutoring just because you see it as more of a free babysitting service."Mister Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00797744114515551901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21615042.post-86395969272409244412007-01-28T14:50:00.000-06:002007-01-28T14:50:00.000-06:00100 farmers wrote: "Ever notice that it's the stud...100 farmers wrote: "Ever notice that it's the students that you really could take a break from that alway show up?"<br /><br />That's because their parents can't stand them, either.Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11914867548686274842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21615042.post-82031824013203353042007-01-24T21:00:00.000-06:002007-01-24T21:00:00.000-06:00It happened here in Minnesota last year when my di...It happened here in Minnesota last year when my district didn't make a decision quick enough. But here the windchills are negative 27 degrees, and some elementary kids have to get to school by 7:15, so they were standing at corners in the dark at 6:45 in the morning.<br /><br />Later, the decision was that schools weren't cancelled, but buses were! At least the district had to deal with irate parents for days.IB a Math Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04405903349002102078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21615042.post-64346922244783544272007-01-20T06:39:00.000-06:002007-01-20T06:39:00.000-06:00Sometimes I hate myself when I'm indecisive, but t...Sometimes I hate myself when I'm indecisive, but to have a principal (or superintendent) waffle when deciding whether to call a snow day or not is ridiculous. If they called the snow day, they should have stuck with it.

It was 9:30 before the last student had made it home. To this day, they make the call and stick with it. Parents were so irate that time, that they don't want to deal with the backlash again (and the media coverage).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11203072903419493993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21615042.post-37197556911370548522007-01-18T21:10:00.000-06:002007-01-18T21:10:00.000-06:00300 students out of 1300 at our middle school.

What happened to the teachers who already left? <br />I once drove 40 miles to my job in a blizzard, only to get there and find that school had just been cancelled. Now, I have like a 5 minute drive to work- my car doesn't even warm up in the time it takes me to get to school.<br />I bet you enjoyed your day with just the 10 kids.Mrs. Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17730747441676219265noreply@blogger.com
