So the district I teach in is closed tomorrow but

[Blondy876]

my dd's is not (as of now). And boy oh boy, she is not a happy camper.

She keeps coming out and saying "But Mom the roads are bad and I want to stay home and play in the snow." She's 6, how does she know the roads are bad ? I then have to remind her that we live right across the street from the school so if the roads are too bad I will walk her over, then she will also get to be in the snow. She doesn't like that at all.

(I will wait to do my happy until she goes to bed)

Awwww....let her stay home!

Happy to hear that you have the day off tomorrow.

I teach too. We are also closed tomorrow!!!!

So sorry for your poor dd. (If it were me...my 6yo DD would stay home with me & enjoy a day off too, but that's just me). Enjoy your day!

 

[Blondy876]

Awwww....let her stay home!

I'm thinking about it. But I know that if she stays home she will be bored all day. She'll play in the snow for a few minutes and then want to play the computer or watch TV all day. And since that's not going to happen she'll be pouty.

But there's a good chance I will cave and let her stay. I'm sure there won't be many kids that will actually make it in anyway and since she has only missed one day all year I don't think it would hurt.

Oh poor thing. Hopefully they'll change their minds by the morning. When I was in school, my parents taught in the next district over. But, my district was more likely to get off school than theirs. So, if they had a snow day, then I did for sure. Sometimes, I got a snow day and they didn't. I remember my dad coming in one morning grumbling that I didn't have school, but they did.

Lucky!!
you should let her stay home too.

We all (three different schools) have two hour delays.

I love that because we don't get charge for a snow day but we can sleep late in the morning. I only work till 12:15 too so it's a short morning for me!

ETA: I said this morning that I want a snow day where I can stay home and the kids have to go to school!

 

[BeNJeNWaFFLe]

Yay for you, but sad for your dd.

If she gets pouty tell her my story. In I believe 1996, we had a blizzard. EVERY school on Long Island except mine and one other was closed. The other had a 2 hour delay, mine didn't. When I got to school, theirs closed, mine was still open. Just about 1/4 of the students and teachers came in. So remind your daughter it can be worse. She could be the only school open! How horrible that was for me, I will never forget it.

I hope she gets off tomorrow! (And that my job closes too!)

I just got a call that ours is closed also..

Poor hubby.. he is off tomorrow for Lincolns birthday. Now he is going to have all 4 kids here

 

[dopeys biggest fan]

Come on Mom, everyone else gets to stay home! P-A-LEEEEEEEEEEEEZE!!!

One more vote to let her stay home!!

Yay for you, but sad for your dd.

That happened several times in my wonderful school district. You'd hear Baldwin closed then they'd skip Bellmore-Merrick and get to Briarcliff secretarial school closed!

I can't complain. As an adult, I got 4 snow days last year, then four hurricane days.

Awww, I love snow days!. I wish we had snow!

 

[castleview]

Send her to school! Get something done around the house. I know I'm in the minority, but my parents are teachers and the thought of them letting me stay home when I was perfectly healthy is just laughable. So my opinion is biased too I guess.

 

[icebrat001]

We don't have snow days, darn! Guess I can't complain, it'll be 73 tomorrow.

 

[Blondy876]

Just a quick update. I let her choose. At first she said she wanted to go but when it came time to get ready she decided against it.

Plus, her dd left this morning on a business trip for the next week (he's going to Orlando and we are stuck here in a foot of snow). She's feeling sad and clingy, I think it's a good day for snowman building, hot chocolate and cuddling.
